Kamp van Hoop en Wanhoop plot

Documentary maker Willy Lindwer provides a picture of camp Westerbork, where more than a hundred thousand Dutch Jews were gathered during the war years before they were sent to Nazi death camps. Life in Westerbork during the war has been recorded by camp photographer and videographer Rudolf Werner Breslauer. These photos and fragments from the film he made in 1943 on behalf of the Nazis can be seen in this documentary. Lindwer also looks back with survivors of the camp and visits the camp almost fifty years after the war.
