Twilhaar Camp, Memorial labor camp in Nijverdal, Netherlands.

Located at Paltheweg, the memorial features two concrete panels with photographs, one deliberately faded to represent memory loss of camp inhabitants.

The camp operated from 1940 to 1947, initially housing unemployed men for land reclamation before being converted to hold Jewish laborers in 1942.

The memorial, unveiled in 2003, commemorates the Jewish men who were transported from this location to Westerbork transit camp on October 2, 1942.

The site contains visible ground remnants and fence post traces, allowing visitors to understand the original layout of the two barracks complex.

Researchers Jan Fikken and Alex Alfering documented the camp's transformation from a work relief facility to a forced labor site during World War II.
