Netherlands Camp Westerbork 50th Anniversary of Liberation Challenge Coin

This challenge coin commemorates the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Camp Westerbork in the Netherlands. Camp Westerbork operated as a transit camp during World War II, where thousands of individuals were held before being deported to concentration camps. The coin was produced to mark the half-century milestone since the camp’s liberation in April 1945 by Allied forces, symbolizing remembrance and historical reflection. The coin typically features emblematic imagery relevant to Camp Westerbork, such as memorial motifs or insignia denoting the anniversary. Materials and finish can vary, with many versions made from brass or similar alloys, often with colored enamel highlights. The date range “1945 – 1995” is usually present, alongside other identifying inscriptions in Dutch or English. This item is of interest to collectors of military memorabilia, World War II artifacts, and those focused on Holocaust remembrance history.
