Mariënbosch concentration camp

Mariënbosch concentration camp was a concentration camp near Nijmegen that was run by the Dutch government from September 1946 and until December 1948, in the context of Operation Black Tulip in which Germans, including Jews of German origin, were expelled from The Netherlands. The camp was originally constructed for Canadian soldiers and consisted of many Nissen huts. The camp could hold some 1,400 people.[1]

The commander of the camp was Jacques Schol, who had formerly been a commander of Westerbork transit camp from 1940 to January 1943 and was known for his brutality against Jewish inmates, kicking inmates to death.[2]
