Life Story Interviews in Museums
Interviews from the archive "Forced Labor 1939-1945. Memory and History" are used in various exhibitions in museums and memorial sites.
Surviving forced laborers have been given a chance to speak, not only in education and research, but increasingly also in historical museums and exhibitions where excerpts from the video and audio interviews facilitate the visitors' personal approach to the history of forced labor.
