The Shoah (1939–1945)
Roundup of Jews from Utrecht
oct. 1942·Utrecht
The toll is reproduced exactly as the source states it — never rounded, never added to another. Tolls overlap from one event to the next.
Jewish families from Utrecht are assembled and deported via Westerbork.
In Utrecht, the occupier rounded up the Jews of the city and its province. Jewish students, already barred from the university, were arrested along with the others. The city had become a transit point for children entrusted to host families by rescue networks, which had organized a pipeline there; several of its members were caught during those same weeks. The Utrecht community never recovered its pre-war numbers.
