Comic workshop for beginners on Nazi forced labour
In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of comics as a medium for addressing National Socialism in Germany. On the occasion of the travelling exhibition "trotzdem da! Children from forbidden relationships between Germans and prisoners of war or forced labourers," this three-day workshop offers the opportunity to explore this topic through information, discussion and drawing.

The potential, limitations and challenges of teaching history through the medium of comics will be reflected upon and discussed.
