Kindermonument Kamp Vught, Holocaust memorial site in Vught, Netherlands.

The memorial features bronze plaques linked with Stars of David displaying names and ages of 1,269 children who perished during World War II.

In June 1943, over one thousand Jewish children were transported from Camp Vught to Westerbork and subsequently to Sobibór extermination camp.

The memorial incorporates cast bronze toys at its base, representing the innocent lives lost and serving as a permanent reminder of wartime atrocities.

The monument stands within National Monument Camp Vught grounds and hosts annual commemoration ceremonies each June to honor the victims.

The memorial includes a biblical passage from Genesis 37:30 inscribed on one plaque, expressing profound loss through ancient text.
