The camp site and the museum are 2.7 kilometers away from each other. Due to the presence of the Radio Observatory, the bus with the group/pupils is not allowed to continue to the former camp site. That is why the programme allows for time for the walk to and from the camp site. Does the group use their own bicycles? Then the duration of the programme can be shortened by one hour.

* viewing guides are part of the educational programme for primary and secondary education.

International cooperation

Remembering Westerbork’ is the result of an international cooperation with Freie Univesität Berlin. This website makes the complex history and memory of the site accessible through the stories of two Jewish victims of Westerbork: Hans Margules and Ronnie Goldstein-van Cleef. Questions and suggested tasks support a dialogue with the interview films in the classroom. Additional material, a time-line and a glossary provide support in contextualizing two unique biographies.
