Editing Westerbork transit camp (section)

=== Holding place for Moluccan soldiers ===
In 1949, when the Dutch left their over [[Dutch East Indies|300 year occupation]] of Indonesia, [[native Indonesians]] were left in political unrest. Some people who had worked with French, Algerian and Dutch militaries were evacuated, because they were the subject of anger by the other indigenous people who had resisted colonisation and felt betrayed at the Moluccan peoples siding with their [[Colonization|colonisers]]. The peoples were promised a quick return to their homeland. However, from 1951 to 1971, former indigenous [[Moluccans|Moluccan]] [[Royal Netherlands East Indies Army|KNIL]] soldiers and their families were made to stay in the camp. During this time, the camp was renamed ''Kamp Schattenberg'' (Camp Schattenberg).<ref>{{Cite book|title=Go Back to Where You Came From: The Backlash Against Immigration and the Fate of Western Democracy|last=Polakow-Suransky|first=Sasha|publisher=Nation Books|year=2017|isbn=978-1568585925|pages=19}}</ref>
