Westerbork film

Info: 16mm b/w material shot in the spring of 1944 in a Transitcamp for Jews in the occupied Netherlands near the village of Westerbork. It shows, among other things - such as the working barracks and the camp cabaret - the deportation of Dutch Jews and Sinti on May 19 1944. It is not clear who operated the camera. Possibly inmates were involved in the shooting but the film was commissioned by camp commander Gemmeker, who made sure it survived the war. The complete materials are roughly 150 minutes, the edited part of it is often called "Westerborkfilm".
