Villa Bouchina is a building in Doetinchem (The Netherlands), which during the Second World War served as a camp for Jews who enjoyed special protection from the occupier because of their role before the war. The idea behind it was that people who pretended to be special cases would fight for their rights and accept the rules.

Amongst others, a cartoonist (Jo Spier) and his family, a woman whose husband was fighting for Germany on the front, and some former NSBs (Nationaal-Socialistische Beweging, or National Socialist Movement) stayed in the camp. ). In all the building was inhabited by nine Jews. In February 1943, the "Jews of Mussert" settled in the building and remained until April 21 of the same year. Then they were deported to the concentration camp Theresienstadt, where four of them died.

There were two similar camps in Barneveld, in which about 700 Jews were protected: Schaffelaar and Huize from Biezen. edit code
