About this school trip

Herinneringscentrum Kamp Westerbork, the Camp Westerbork Memorial Centre, tells the stories of more than a hundred thousand Jews, Sinti and Roma who were deported from the Netherlands and murdered during the Second World War. Other periods in the camp's history are covered too, such as the years when it was the Schattenberg residential camp for Moluccan families.

The educational programme follows the story of a Jewish family, a unique combination of Holocaust education and local history. There are programmes for all levels of education from around age 10 upwards. Preparation is genuinely essential here: the memorial centre provides teaching materials and LessonUp lessons to prepare pupils for the visit beforehand.

We would be delighted to take care of transport for you and your pupils to Hooghalen. Good to know: coaches are not allowed to drive on to the former camp site, which lies almost three kilometres from the museum, so time for the walk is built into the programme. Our driver drops your group off comfortably and safely at the museum.
