Since June 22, 1941, the Central Museum of the Great Patriotic War 1941–1945 in Moscow presents the international exhibition "Forced Labor. The Germans, the Forced Laborers and the war".
"Forced Labor. The Germans, the Forced Laborers and the War" is an exhibition by the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorials Foundation, initiated and sponsored by the Foundation "Remembrance, Responsibility and Future". Along with numerous pictures and documents from different archives the exhibition also shows interview excerpts with witnesses from the online archive "Forced Labor 1939-1945".
The first station of the travelling exhibition was the Jewish Museum Berlin (September 2010 until January 2011). A video clip showing the usage of the interviews within the exhibition can be found here »
To commemorate the 70th anniversary, a short video at www.zwangsarbeit-archiv.de presents three individual experiences of June 22, 1941 and its consequences (in Russian with German subtitles).
Other museums and memorials, too, make use of interviews from the online archive.
