Vught Execution Site Memorial
Highlight • Monument
of National Socialism.
-The shooting-place in the vunettes of Vught
On 20 December 1947, this memorial was inaugurated by the Dutch Princess Juliana as a national monument.
Here at the shooting-place
26 limestone panels were lined up in a wall.
On these boards were listed 124 towns and villages - from Alkmaar to Zwolle-.
Below the 26 limestone tiles on a sandstone base, a quote from the Dutch national anthem was immortalized:
I remain faithful to the fatherland
to the death <
Behind the memorial, stands out
big cross of oak trunks
to the sky.
And so that nothing really falls into oblivion from this inglorious time, the names of all those shot on this place, "under the names of towns and cities", were carved here forever in stone ...

National Monument Camp Vught
Highlight • Historical Site
Construction of the camp began in 1942. The construction costs of around 15 million guilders were mainly raised through confiscated Jewish assets.
The concentration camp was 1 km long and 350 meters wide.
On January 5, 1943, the camp became its inglorious destination
to hand over.
31,000 people were held here, including
12,000 Jews.
But also a Roma minority, political prisoners, Jehovah's Witnesses as well as resistance fighters and homosexuals.
On June 7, 1943, it became known that all Jewish children would have to leave the camp and be taken to a special children's camp and thus possibly separated from father and mother.
At least 750 men, women and children are known to have met a painful death here.
Today you can visit the site and the buildings for an entrance fee, as well as an information center that reports on this bad time with corresponding films and other documentaries ...
