Above undated message substituted from

I was a Jewish prisoner in Westerbork in 1943 before being sent to Bergen Belsen. Westerbork was not, strictly speaking, a "concentration camp" in the hiearchy of camp terminology. To be accurate, it was a "Durchgangslager" or transit camp. Not that this distinction was a bargain in any way for those imprisoned there. Westerborg served as a dentention center from which the Jews from Holland were then sent mainly to the Eastern death camps of Auschwitz-Birkenau and Sobibor and also to Bergen Belsen which was in northern Germany. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.101.104.62 (talk) 21:05, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• I wholeheartedly agree with the foregoing, my greatgrandfather, his wife and sister all passed through Westerbork. The camp was named Polizeiliches Durchgangslager Westerbork. Although conditions were very harsh it was not a concentration camp. The function of the camp may be compared to those at Mechelen and Drancy, which were called sammelager. The article should be renamed to reflect the difference Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 22:26, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
