External Camp Moerdijk

At the harbour in Moerdijk on this location, was in the Second World War a satellite camp of concentration camp Vught.

Between 26 March 1943 and late February 1944 the old barracks were used as Aussenkommando. In these ship barracks stayed about 500 Jews. They walked to the barracks from Railway-Station Lage-Zwaluwe. The Jewish people were forced to dig tank traps in South Holland and the West corner of North Brabant.
