Sources of Information
- Jewish Virtual Library website, 15 Sept. 2019(Vught was the only official SS concentration camp in occupied Northwest Europe, established in occupied Holland; construction began in May 1942. The first prisoners arrived at the camp before it was finished at the end of 1942. These prisoners came from the camp in Amersfoort, which the Nazis wanted to give up; it wasn't until October 26-27, 1944, that Vught was liberated.
- entry for Herzogenbusch Concentration Camp (Herzogenbusch concentration camp (Dutch: Kamp Vught, German: Konzentrationslager Herzogenbusch) was a Nazi concentration camp located in Vught near the city of 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands. Herzogenbusch was, with Natzweiler-Struthof in occupied France, the only concentration camp run directly by the SS in western Europe outside Germany. The camp was first used in 1943 and held 31,000 prisoners. 749 prisoners died in the camp, and the others were transferred to other camps shortly before the camp was liberated by the Allied Forces in 1944. Following the war the camp was used as a prison for Germans and Dutch collaborators. Today the camp is a museum, with a visitors' center containing exhibitions and a national monument remembering the camp and its victims ( (Wikipedia, 15 Sept. 2019:) )
