Between 1942 and 1945 the German Nazis arrested and deported more than one hundred thousand Dutch Jews and foreign Jewish refugees from the Netherlands. The Nazis used Camp Westerbork for this purpose, which the Dutch Government had already established in 1939 as a national camp for Jewish refugees from Germany.
The museum houses a permanent exhibition on the history of camp Westerbork, with many original photographs, documents, drawings, paintings, images, maps, and objects. The documentation centre houses a collection of books, documents, photographs, and videotapes, which are all available for research. Visitors can consult the Memorial Books of the War Graves Foundation with the names of more than 140,000 Dutchmen who were killed during World War II and who did not receive a proper burial.

More than 5,000 years ago a peasant tribe erected impressive tombs out of massive stones that weigh tons, which have remained untouched for thousands of years. 54 of them still exist and can be viewed up till today. The museum tells the story of these mysterious megalithic graves and the people that built them.
