National Monument Kamp Vught
Nationaal Monument Kamp Vught
The site of the only SS-run concentration camp the Nazis set up in the Netherlands during WWII, with preserved barracks, a crematorium, and a children's memorial.
Kamp Vught (Konzentrationslager Herzogenbusch) held about 31,000 people between 1943 and 1944, including Jews, resistance members, and political prisoners. Many were transported from here to Auschwitz and Sobibor. The memorial preserves reconstructed barracks, a crematorium, and an execution site, along with a monument to the 1,269 children deported in June 1943. Chinese and English introductions to the exhibits are available to borrow. Admission is about €12. The site is partly closed on Mondays, so allow about 2 hours. It is about 6 km from Den Bosch. Take a train to Vught station and walk about 20 minutes, or take a bus.
