FORCED LABOR

More than 20 million people were forced to perform forced labor in the German Reich during World War II. As cheap laborers and often without any protection or security measures, they were forced to work in the armaments industry, for example. In the final year of the war, 1,000 Hungarian Jewish women were brought to Allendorf from the Auschwitz concentration camp. The "Forced Labor" route explores the history of forced laborers and will focus specifically on the 1,000 Jewish women.
