SYMPOSIUM
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24
10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Forced and Slave Labor in Nazi-Dominated Europe, 1933 to 1945
Civilians, concentration camp prisoners, deportees, foreign nationals, Jews, and prisoners of war were all forced into the sprawling forced and slave labor system that encompassed most of Europe and supported the war efforts of the Nazi regime and Axis countries. Forced and slave labor was used in the agricultural, chemical, construction, metal, mining, and munitions industries, among others. Slave labor was integral to concentration camps and their sub-camps, farms, ghettos, labor battalions, monasteries, prisoner-of-war camps, and private industries in Germany, other Axis countries, and the German-occupied territories east and west. The objective of this symposium is to highlight new research on forced and slave labor as a European phenomenon during World War II.
