the Director of Camp Westerbork Memorial Centre, who shared impactful and
harrowing stories of people and families who were placed in camp Westerbork.

From the research that is available now, we know that young people are amongst the groups who’s mental health is most affected as a consequence of the pandemic. What lessons have we learned so far and what can governments do to support them better during this difficult time? Both guests also reflect on the role of fake news during this crisis.
