Forced Labor and Anti-Slavic Racism: An Intense Tour in Göttingen
This exhibition delves into a burdensome, historically significant chapter of the Nazi era. Annegrit Berghoff, a staff member of the exhibition, provides a precise insight into the conditions under which people from Poland and the Soviet Union were forced into forced labor in Southern Lower Saxony. The tour combines historical analysis, personal life stories, and the question of how anti-Slavic racism continues to resonate today.

The Exhibition as a Learning Space of Remembrance
The permanent exhibition Tracing European Forced Labor. Southern Lower Saxony 1939-1945 documents the life stories of people who were recruited, obligated to serve, or forcibly deported across 13 thematic stations. It places forced labor in regional, European, and societal historical contexts and makes the scale of Nazi exploitation visible.

Anti-Slavic Racism in Historical Context
The focus of the tour is the hierarchical racial ideology of the National Socialists. The event explains how discriminatory special regulations, labeling obligations, and colonial-racist attributions determined the lives of those affected. Thus, the tour becomes a precise form of cultural education that makes historical violence comprehensible not abstractly, but through concrete biographies.

A Visit to the Exhibition with Educational Depth
The exhibition is designed as a learning space and works with European perspectives, project partners, and digital formats. Already the virtual presentation shows how much the communication focuses on context, source work, and international memory culture. For visitors, this creates an artistic experience of a different kind: no aesthetic distance, but concentrated engagement with the work in the medium of historical documentation.
