Vught is a municipality and a town in the southern Netherlands. It is known for its concentration camp, that was in use in World War II. It was part of camp camp Herzogenbusch, but usually better known as "Kamp Vught" (Camp Vught). The camp mainly held Dutch and Belgian political prisoners, both men and women. The guard staff included SS men, Dutch collaborators and a few SS women, headed by Oberaufseherin Margarete Gallinat. Suze Arts was distinguished for her cruelty in the camp. Two female overseers included Elisabeth Koorn and Katja Schot.. It is now known as National Monument Camp Vught.
