“Death Cell 601 “to become museum

“Death Cell 601″ is a prison cell of the extensive prison complex in Scheveningen of which some parts also houses the UN’s detention unit for prisoners. A part of the prison is to be demolished because the cells are deemed unsafe. But the foundation Oranjehotel ( the name of the prison during the second world war )wants the section that houses cell 601 into a museum. They also want to build an information centre giving the history of the building and its occupants. Hundreds of prisoners stayed in the Oranjehotel, before they were executed in the nearby sand dunes or sent to Nazi concentration camps. More information on www.oranjehotel.com
