In the column of Middendorp said that no Jews were transported in cattle cars to death camps from Westerbork. “This is incorrect. It has happened with both livestock and passenger cars. (..) We offer our apologies for this grievous error, “the newspaper said.
Middendorp adds itself to an interpretation, in which he himself to blame. “I have (..) a horrible mess of it and I’m ashamed of a lot for that. It is painful that it just happens with this subject – just had this extra care of me expected. My apologies to the newspaper, the reader and especially Memorial Center Camp Westerbork and the director, Mr. Mulder. “
The columnist had when writing based on a report by the NOS Radio 1 News, which went the purchase of a cattle wagon to exhibit in camp Westerbork. Middendorp concluded that the cattle wagon could not be original, because the Jews are not a cattle truck, but “went with a passenger train.”
Only after people had reacted angrily to the column and had said that there are indeed cattle wagons OwnZone Middendorp realized he had been inaccurate. He attributes it to “insanity, tunnel vision, too focused on things that confirmed my ideas, or simply too stupid to double check things well”
