Restorer Dagmar Beyaard Undertakes Solemn Restoration of Kamp Vught Cremation Oven
Restorer Dagmar Beyaard is carefully cleaning and preserving a mobile cremation oven used by Germans at Kamp Vought to burn the bodies of 750 prisoners. She works in silence and without music out of respect for the site's history, noting that while the task is somber, it is an honorable duty to preserve these objects. The restoration project, which began in summer 2026 with a hearse made from aircraft scrap, aims to freeze the artifacts in time rather than fully repair damage. The mobile oven is expected to be completed in November, followed by the fixed ovens.
