Anne Frank was the most famous victim of the Westerbork Concentration Camp. Seeing her image reminds us of the atrocities that took place in this horrific period in world history.

The concentration camp money(scrip) shown above was used by inmates and had no convertibility outside the camp. This had the effect of denying escapees from having any money to spend if they escaped.
Concentration camp money was issued by most camps and more than 100 different issues have been reported, with those of Theriesenstadt and Lodz being the most elaborate and beautiful issues.

Westerbork began as a refugee camp in the 1930's. After the German occupation of Holland it became a transit concentration camp, housing prisoners destined for the death camps in Poland.
