- Nationaal Monument Kamp Vught - We visit the former Nazi concentration camp Vught in the South of Holland. The camp was first used in 1942 and held 31,000 Jewish and political prisoners. We will visit the remainders of the concentration camp with its watchtowers, barracks, crematorium, original train and children’s memorial. We also visit the execution site in the woods where over 300 resistance members were executed. The camp has a book shop, a good audio tour and a small cafeteria.

Join us on a small group exploration titled ‘In the footsteps of WW2’, where we plunge right into history. This tour is an excellent supplement to our Jewish history tours in Amsterdam and the Anne Frank House.
This historical journey is an extension of our existing concentration Camp Vught tour, and includes visits to locales of significant events like Operation Market Garden, A Bridge Too Far, General John Frost and the battle of Arnhem. We will delve into this intriguing part of Dutch history during the tour.
Key features of the tour include former Nazi concentration camp, with sights of barracks, memorials, and a crematorium. Corrie Ten Boom was a war-time detainee here. Several Jewish children from this very location were transported to Poland, while hundreds of rebels were executed.
Our tour also encompasses the sites of Operation Market Garden and the battle of Arnhem, unraveling the strategy, its failure, and its consequences on the Dutch population and the Allied forces. The tour essentially includes a visit to the exhibition at the Airborne Museum in Arnhem, the war cemetery, and the John Frost Bridge.
