Vught
Vught, small German Nazi concentration camp near the town of Vught, 2 miles (3 km) south of the city of Hertogenbosch, North Brabant, Netherlands. Set up in early 1943, it was essentially a transit camp for Dutch Jews, some of whom worked on slave-labor projects. All Jewish prisoners were eventually shipped east to extermination camps.
