Serious sexual violence against women in internment camps after World War II

Thousands of Dutch women who were detained in internment camps after the Second World War were raped, tortured and humiliated by their guards. This is evident from witness statements that ended up in a drawer and have only now been investigated by the NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies. The images of Dutch girls and women who were shaved after the Second World War because they were Germans would have gotten along, had a relationship or worked together, are on many people's minds .
