Everyday Life in Berlin’s Forced Labour Camps

In his master’s thesis, Fabian Dietrich analyzed daily life in the camps: How did the inmates use these spaces, and what structures did they have to contend with? He primarily analyzed diaries written by those affected and investigative files from the Nazi authorities.

Friederike Brückner is an archaeologist. She has examined remnants of clothing found in the vicinity of the accommodation camps at Tempelhofer Feld. In her master’s thesis, she relates these findings to historical sources.

Welcome and moderation:

Dr. Roland Borchers

Deputy Director of the Documentation Center for Nazi Forced Labor
