Forced Labor in Berlin 1938-1945

Who were the people who had to perform forced labor in Berlin, where did they come from, and under what conditions did they have to live and work?

Erste Tafeln der Ausstellung "Zwangsarbeit in Berlin 1938-1945" am Zaun des Dokumentationszentrums NS-Zwangsarbeit

Who were the profiteers and who organized and administered the use of forced labor? What was the post-war fate of the survivors? What traces did the mass use of forced labor leave behind in Berlin's urban space and in the memories of the Berlin population? These and other questions are explored in this exhibition, which was developed in 2002 on the basis of regional research by eleven regional museums and institutions. Until the opening of the permanent exhibition "Everyday Forced Labor 1938-1945" in 2013, it was on display in the former forced labor camp barracks at the Documentation Center Nazi Forced Labor.

The exhibition was newly produced for the fence exhibition and can be seen from today until further notice.

Runtime: from April 2020

Takes place here:

• Dokumentationszentrum NS-Zwangsarbeit Berlin-Schöneweide
