The Tweede Noodbegraafplaats Selwerderhof (Second Emergency Cemetery Selwerderhof II), located in Groningen, the Netherlands, is a burial site primarily used during and after World War II. It served as a temporary resting place for soldiers, civilians, and victims of the war, including both Allied and Axis forces, as well as local citizens who died during the conflict.
The cemetery is part of the larger Selwerderhof cemetery complex and was established to accommodate the large number of casualties resulting from the war. Over time, many of the graves were moved to permanent war cemeteries or returned to the families of the deceased, but some still remain at the site.
This cemetery is notable for its connection to the history of World War II in the Netherlands, as it marks the struggle and impact of the conflict on the local population and the region's role in the broader context of the war.
At the Second Emergency Cemetery, the graves of the Dutch war criminals Abraham Kaper, Pieter Schaap, Evert Drost, Otto Bouman (until 2008), Sander van Droffelaar, and Pieter Wichers are located.
