The life of Philip Mechanicus

Deportation from the Camp

More than 100 trains left Camp Westerbork for the concentration camps in Central and Eastern Europe. The first transport left Westerbork on 15 July 1942; the last almost a two and a half years later, in January 1945. Of the more than 107,000 deported men, women and children, only 5,000 managed to survive the Second World War.
