Camp Amersfoort
Camp Amersfoort was a concentration camp in Leusden on the southern edge of Amersfoort.
The camp was in use from 18 August 1941 until 19 April 1945 as a concentration camp and transit camp. Camp Amersfoort (German: Polizeiliches Durchgangslager Amersfoort; PDA) held a total of 37,000 registered prisoners in the years 1941-1945, mainly political prisoners, people who had been in hiding and black-marketeers, of whom about 20,000 were deported to German concentration camps or Westerbork. In addition, 13,000 unregistered prisoners were detained at the camp for short periods.[1] Victor Kugler was imprisoned in Camp Amersfoort from 11 September to 26 September 1944, after which he was put on transport for forced labour. Like Kugler, Johannes Kleiman was registered in Camp Amersfoort on 11 September 1944, but was released a week later due to his poor health.
