End of April 2025 - Autumn 2025

Around 500,000 Nazi forced labourers were held involuntarily in the "camp city" of Berlin during the war. How did they experience the period of upheaval in 1945, when they were liberated from the Nazi forced labour system?

Spring 2025 will mark the 80th anniversary of liberation from the Nazi regime. To mark this occasion, the experiences of civilian forced labourers, prisoners of war and concentration camp inmates from all over Europe who were forced to work in Berlin will be highlighted. The planned special exhibition will shed light on the period from the final phase of the war to the liberation by the Red Army and the immediate post-war period.
