The four memorial plaques in the Arresthof (3 plaques on the camp wall, one on the ground) mark the site where the mortal remains of 40 Dutch and 7 British prisoners of war were buried. The special agents were murdered on September 6th and 7th, 1944, and their ashes were secretly and under great danger buried here by Yugoslav and Russian prisoners of war. The Netherlands War Graves Foundation initiated this memorial.
