From 22 November 2024 to 15 June 2025, the new special exhibition on forced labor and Nazi justice in Potsdam (1940-1945) will focus on the crime of forced labor committed by Germans in Brandenburg and throughout Europe under National Socialism. It uses the life stories of forced laborers imprisoned in Lindenstraße to demonstrate the devastating consequences of racist ideology and politics and thus contributes to raising public awareness of those affected by Nazi forced labor.
