Workshop, 15 March 2018, Nürnberg, Germany

 

Location: Dokumentationszentrum Reichsparteitagsgelände (Bayernstraße 110, 4.OG), Nürnberg, 15 March 2018.

The project “Producers, Consumers and Consequences of Forced Labour - Serbia 1941-1944” aims to illuminate some of the important aspects of the period 1941-1944, when Serbia under German occupation was at the same time the producer and consumer of forced labour. The second workshop in the project, Forced Labour, Serbia and Germany 1941-1945, sets out to establish a connection between the events in Serbia and in Germany using the example of Nuremberg as well as the Flossenbürg camp and its satellite - Hersbruck.
