Students tour Nazi camp to Raise Awareness

150 Dutch teenagers visited Westerbork, a detention and transit camp in Hooghalen in honor of the Holocaust victims and to fight anti-Semitism in academic institutions. National monument of the former concentration camp Westerbork

They had white roses provided by the event organizers and laid them on the camp’s railway track. The activity was in collaboration with the Jewish community of Arnhem. Almost 100,000 Jews were brought to the Nazi concentration death camps. In February, interviews with high school students from Muslim homes in Arnhem were shown in Dutch television, with students sharing their anti-Semitic opinions. This alerted the Center for Information and Documentation on Israel, a supervisory body on anti-Semitism. They asked the government to check and resolve the issue of anti-Semitism in schools. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said he would start a scheme “to discuss anti-Semitism with young people.” Source: Haaretz
