The permanent exhibition "Forced Labour in the Daily Round 1938-1945" presents the history of forced labour during National Socialism as an omnipresent mass phenomenon. It shows the everyday life of the men, women and children deported to work - in the camp, at work and in contact with Germans. It illustrates the extent to which the lives of forced laborers were shaped by the racist hierarchy of the Nazi regime.
