Thought-provoking tour
Reservation necessary Camp Vught National Memorial (Nationaal Monument Kamp Vught ) is located on part of the former SS camp Konzentrationslager Herzogenbusch, also known as Camp Vught (January 1943 – September 1944). The museum is spread out over several buildings and outdoor areas. A model of the camp shows the extensive size of the camp and the many buildings it included. The watchtowers, which were built a hundred meters apart, have been reconstructed. The barrack, rebuilt at half the original size, shows how the prisoners lived. The Children’s Memorial lists the names and ages of the 1,269 Jewish children who were deported in June 1943. There is also an authentic crematorium. Audiotour available Dutch/English/German/French (included); free parking. Payment at reception: only PIN/VisaCard/MasterCard/American Express. Closed 26th September 2021

Impressive
A perfect representation of the horror the humankind is capable of. When I left the camp the only question in my mind was : Why, why why. It’s a must see for everyone who have no idea how fast your safe world can change in a nightmare.

Moving and educational
This "site" is a must see. Should we forget the past, we are destined to repeat it. The education and preservation of the site are very well done. My suggestion is to add more interactive displays and educational content that would help educate younger attendees. (Check out the US Holocaust Museum's Passports, they help to connect visitors of all ages to the events of the day.
