Explore the city of 's-Hertogenbosch and its surroundings, including the powerful Camp Vught national memorial on this day tour from Amsterdam by bus.

After a 70 to 90-minute drive from Amsterdam, your first destination will be the city of ‘s-Hertogenbosch. During a guided walking tour here, you’ll visit several places related to either the occupation or liberation. You will hear the stories of the people who had experienced it, as well as the stories of soldiers participating in the liberation of the city. Backed up with photographs, maps and visible traces of that period, you will gain an exclusive insight into what life was like in the war era.

After some free time for lunch, you’ll drive to the Camp Vught National Memorial, which during World War two, was also called Konzentrationslager Herzogenbusch. Camp Vught holds a special place in Dutch war history as it was the only official SS concentration camp in occupied Northwest Europe.

The memorial and museum are located in a forest in Vught and spread out over several buildings and outdoor areas. The watchtowers, which were built a hundred meters apart, have been reconstructed. The barracks were rebuilt at half the original size and show how the prisoners lived. The Children’s Memorial lists the names and ages of the 1,269 Jewish children who were deported in June 1943. There is also a crematorium, where the bodies of prisoners who died or were executed at the camp were burned.

We will also drive to the execution area located nearby in the woods. A memorial has been erected here that displays the names of the 329 prisoners who were executed at this site.

In the late afternoon, we will drive back to Amsterdam.
