  • Deze film toont trieste beelden van het werkkamp Westerbork tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Feitelijk was het een doorgangskamp voor Joodse tewerkgestelden naar de concentratiekampen in Duitsland en Polen. De film werd gemaakt in opdracht van kampcommandant Alfred Konrad Gemmeker en gefilmd door de Joodse fotograaf Rudolf Breslauer die helaas de concentratiekampen niet overleefde. Tot de dag van vandaag is de omvang van de rol van Gemmeker controversieel aangezien hij tot zijn dood in 1982 bleef volhouden nooit van de misdaden in de concentratiekampen te hebben geweten. Om die reden kreeg hij in 1945 dan ook een relatief milde straf van 10 jaar gevangenis. De beelden tonen de Joodse tewerkgestelden aan het werk in het kamp en op de momenten waarop zij in goederen wagons op transport worden gezet naar hun laatste bestemming.
    Dit is slechts een korte samenvatting van al het beschikbare filmmateriaal waarvan in totaal nog ruim 70 minuten is teruggevonden. De laatste scene van de Duitse soldaat op wacht is pas onlangs boven water gekomen.
    De complete, bijna 2 uur durende, door mij gerestaureerde en ingekleurde film is nu beschikbaar!: • De volledige Westerbor... Deze film staat volledig los van de gerestaureerde Z/W film die Beeld En Geluid op 19 mei 2021 naar verluidt gaat uitbrengen.
    Noot: Beeld en Geluid en/of een van haar partners is niet betrokken geweest bij de creatie van deze ingekleurde versie. De afgelopen jaren heeft Beeld en Geluid, in samenwerking met Herinneringscentrum Kamp Westerbork, het NIOD en het Joods Cultureel Kwartier en vele experts, gewerkt aan een duurzame restauratie van deze belangrijke film, waarbij het originele materiaal en kleurgebruik wordt gerespecteerd. Deze officiële gerestaureerde film is sinds 19 mei 2021 beschikbaar.
    Westerbork was the infamous labour camp in The Netherlands during World War II which in fact was an in between station for Jews to be transported to the concentration camps in Germany and Poland. This film was made at the initiative of camp commander Alfred Konrad Gemmeker by the Jewish photographer Rudolf Breslauer. The latter did not survive the concentration camps.
    It shows moving scenes of Jewish labourers at work in the camp and boarding the trains that would take most of them to their destination of death.
    To this day the role of commander Gemmeker is controversial in view of the fact that until his death in 1982 he claimed to have had no knowledge of what happened in the concentration camps. Taking this into account, he received a prison sentence of only 10 years.
    The most poignent moment in this film is the footage of Settela Steinbach, a Roma girl who was part of a gypsy group, about to be deported. This scene of her face between the almost closed doors of a goods wagon is famous the world-over, but now can be seen for the first time in color. Historians only recently discovered her identity.
    This is just a summary of the total of 70 minutes of footage that was found after the war.
    The last scene of the German soldier standing guard was only recently discovered.
    The original fragments have been motion-stabilized, speed-corrected, enhanced and artificially colorized by means of modern A.I. software.
    Note the "double vision" blur that starts around 00:15 was caused by the initial use of a poor quality camera. Later on Gemmeker arranged a better camera.
    The full, much longer, nearly 2 hours long film about Westerbork that has been restored and colorized by me, has now been released! • De volledige Westerbor...
    FYI: The Dutch Beeld En Geluid archive, who is the guardian of the public domain (Unesco) film, has released their own restored B&W version on the 19th of May 2021.
    Music: Philip Ayers - "Together We Rise".

      Ah- all the reels are being "enhanced" ... amazing!!!
      What we see here is beyond anyone's understanding and experience despite its seeming unconspicuousness.
      It is also good to keep in mind that the film maker who shot these scenes was also deported to a death camp shortly after and killed. Most of the people seen here were sent to a death camp and killed as well.
      It would be great if the soundtrack could be eye witnesses from Westerbork who would contrast these propaganda scenes with actual experience.

      @@omgsolikevalleygirl Thank you very much. The full film will probably be released tomorrow. Currently we are colorizing the last of 10 film fragments (and having to blackout some scenes that a couple of nasty companies have wrongfully claimed as being copyrighted, despite the fact that the film is now Unesco heritage). I am sorry, but I am just a one-man-band so the film will only be accompanied by sad music. I have no possibility to try to find some of the last remaining Westerbork survivors. Most of them are dead by now.

Being able to look at this footage is very important - we can't imagine what happened at these camps, and if we can not imagine it, we can not keep it in mind - so someone may say at some point "do you really think it was that bad.. makes no sense" - that is why the eyewitness accounts are so important.

You make a weird distinction in which german is the Nazi language. In reverse it would mean that german is therefore something "artfremd" to Jews today, just exactly the Nazis claimed once.
      The reasons why german gives her goose bumps is obviously because she encountered the language only in a holocaust context and by Hitler speeches from documentaries, which is a sad development.

    0:27 This girl looked so afraid and probably knew that she would be murdered like million others who have been murdered as part of the Final solution. Her name was:
    *Settela Steinbach* Born on 23-12-1934 Bocht, Holland. Died on 31-07-1944 KZ Aushwitz, Poland.
    On May 16th 1944 she was arrested in Eindhoven with other Jewish family’s during a razzia and got deported to durchgangslager Westerbork. On May 19th she was deported again to Auschwitz-Birkenau as destination. Before the doors were closed, she was looking to a dog passing by before a SS camp guard closed the cargo car door.
    That moment was captured by the Jewish-German photographer: Rudolf Breslauer.
    (*died on February 28th 1945 in Auschwitz, only his daughter Ursula Breslauer survived the war.*)
    On May 21th 1944 she arrived at KZ Auschwitz-Birkenau with her family and were registered and sended to a section for Roma’s. In summer 1944 when a train arrived from Hungary with more than half a million Jews, a arose broke out in the Roma barrack section which resulted in an uprising, this was quashed by the SS camp guards and Roma’s who were considered fit during health inspections by SS doctors, were deported to Germany for forced labour in the German weapon industry.
    In the period of August 3, 1944, the remaining 3,000 Jews of the Roma section were gassed. Settela, her mother, two brothers, two sisters, two nephews, a niece and her aunt belonged to this group, so her date of death when she was gassed is still unknown to this day. of the entire Steinbach family, only the father survived.
    Due to the great loss, he died of Grief in 1946, two years after his entire family was gassed and murdered in Auschwitz-Birkenau, Poland.

Anne Frank was sent to this internment camp,but another woman who was famous at the time sent there was (Dora gerson)her first husband who she divorced in 1924 after 2years filmed a anti Semitic film in 1940 on the orders of Goebbels..the other thing is that she did 2 films with a certain Hungarian actor ( Bela Lugosi)called on the brink of paradise+ caravan of death..and the sad thing is that she died on the 14th February 1943 (st valentine's Day)a celebration of your love for somebody)also this resonated with me because my mother was born on Saint valentine's Day 1942 in Liverpool, Britain,just a year before...also really sad to think just over the English channel or North sea probably less than 50 miles from the interment camp would of been freedom in Britain... nearly 97,000 innocent people,women old young and children were sent to there deaths in autswich and sobibor..🙏...never forgotten...

      I feel like these images could be footage produced for Nazi propaganda - the seeming innocuousness and relaxed atmosphere at the trains and in the factories seems so unreal given what we know happened to these people later on: most of them, also the women and children seen here, were killed or died from the abuse.
      It would be good to cross-check with eyewitness reports of people who were to Westerbork at this time. It may have been a lot more abusive than it appears here. Or it could be that these people were indeed still clueless about what was about to happen to them.

    This video is heartbreaking to watch. Unlike a scene from a film that was set during the Holocaust but made in modern times, you know that the people in it weren't actors who got to go to their comfortable homes at the end of the day, but real people whose fates hung in the balance. Many of the prisoners seen in this video very likely died in the concentration camps that they eventually wound up in. Anne Frank and the seven other people in hiding with her spent two months at this camp before being put on the last train to Auschwitz; only her father would survive the war. Westerbork, which mainly functioned as a holding area for Jews being transported elsewhere, was almost a resort compared to the other horrific camps that these unfortunate prisoners would be sent to. The facilities were primitive, but at least the prisoners got to wear their normal clothes and have hair, get medical care if they needed it, have social activities to some degree, and live a relatively normal life within prison walls. Sadly, most of the prisoners spent maybe two or three months here at the most, before experiencing a living nightmare at camps like Auschwitz, or gassed upon arrival at places like Sobibor and Treblinka. This is all so tragic beyond imagination!
