Exhibition

Forced Labour in the Daily Round 1938−1945

The permanent exhibition "Forced Labour in the Daily Round 1938-1945" presents the history of forced labour during National Socialism as an omnipresent mass phenomenon. It shows the everyday life of the men, women and children deported to work - in the camp, at work and in contact with Germans. It illustrates the extent to which the lives of forced laborers were shaped by the racist hierarchy of the Nazi regime.

This website gives you an insight into the themes, photographs and objects of the exhibition. This includes changing biographies of forced laborers as well as perpetrators, profiteers, spectators and helpers.
