Forced Labor in Europe – Forced Labor in Berlin
Panel Discussion as Part of the Accompanying Program for the Special Exhibition Forced Labor. The Germans, the Forced Laborers, and the War (with audio recording, in German)
Forced labor under National Socialism was a crime committed in plain sight: Berlin residents encountered forced laborers in their neighborhoods, for example at Lindenstraße 28 in Kreuzberg, where one of the approximately 3,000 camps scattered across the city was likely located. In Berlin’s AEG factories, forced laborers made up as much as 60 percent of the workforce and could be identified by badges on their clothing. Yet despite this visibility, concrete facts and sites of memory remain little known.

Historians Christine Glauning, Cord Pagenstecher, and Jens-Christian Wagner discuss the historical facts and locations associated with Nazi forced labor. They present newly uncovered photographic material and explore how this societal crime and the fate of the forced laborers are remembered today.
The evening is moderated by Dr. Manfred Sapper.
