Forced Labor in Austria 1939 –1945
This clear and concise brochure provides an excellent overview of the topic "National Socialist Forced Labor in Austria." Written in simple and clear language with plenty of illustrations, the brochure is tailored to 14–18 year olds and is suitable for use as teaching material in schools.
The sixteen-page brochure provides both a historic overview of forced labor in Austria during the Third Reich and an account of the lengthy negotiations carried out by the government, the Reconciliation Fund and its partner organizations as well as the successful payment of compensation to the victims. Brief personal accounts by former forced laborers reveal the full horror of the Nazi strategy of "forced labor."
A more detailed account of forced labor in Austria can be found in the book Forced Labor in Austria 1938–1845 and on a CD-ROM.
