Event with Kateryna Danilova, Zofia nierodzińska and Lorena Simmel, moderated by Jadwiga Kamola.



The history of Polish labor migration to Germany is a long one. It begins with the first seasonal workers in the 19th century, reaches its cruel climax in forced labor and the so-called "extermination through work" in Nazi concentration camps and continues to this day in unjust and exploitative working conditions.


The artist Zofia nierodzińska and the author Lorena Simmel explain what it means to work under such conditions today in a discussion with a reading. Both have themselves worked in precarious working conditions in agriculture and have incorporated their experiences into their artistic work.


Social scientist Kateryna Danilova places these experiences in the context of the current social discourse on unfair working conditions.


A cooperation event between the German-Polish House and the FHXB Museum.
