nevertheless here!
Children from Forbidden Relationships between Germans and Prisoners of War or Forced Labourers
21 November 2025 - 26 April 2026
During the National Socialist era, friendly and intimate contact between Germans and prisoners of war or forced labourers was undesirable. In some cases, they were strictly forbidden. But they are "nevertheless here": children who were born from such forbidden relationships. Their stories have long been taboo. They have hardly been academically researched and are barely present in the culture of remembrance. This exhibition is dedicated to their life stories.
