Adult education centre: Lecture on 17 October, 5 p.m., TIETZ, event hall - Exhibition from 4 October in the adult education centre, 4th floor
On Monday, 17 October, from 5 to 6.30 pm, interested parties are invited to a lecture on the topic of Nazi forced labour and the war economy in Saxony from 1939 to 1945 in the TIETZ event hall. Admission is free of charge.
Registration is possible at www.vhs-chemnitz.de/kurs/W2210125 and by telephone on 0371 488 4343.
In their lecture, the authors Klaus-Dieter Müller (Dresden) and Dietmar Wendler (Chemnitz) will present the contents of a new publication by the Saxon State Centre for Political Education (SLpB). It presents the current state of research and new sources on forced labour and the war economy in Saxony between 1939 and 1945.
The use of foreign forced labourers had become a mass phenomenon in German wartime society by 1942 at the latest. At the peak of forced labour in autumn 1944, around eight million foreigners - civilians, prisoners of war and concentration camp inmates - were working in all parts of the German Reich.
On this evening, the two authors will present the publication and will be available for questions and discussion.
