Westerbork
After their arrest, most Jews were taken to the Westerbork “Police Transit Camp” for Jews. From there, deportation trains departed for the Auschwitz and Sobibor extermination camps, but also for the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp and the Theresienstadt ghetto. Because the Tal and Levenbach families had papers for entry into Palestine, they were taken to Bergen-Belsen.
The Reiner family arrived in Westerbork later, after deportations had already ceased.
