1940-1945. The resistance in the dutch province of Limburg
 | |  |
Forced Labor
This website is mainly about the resistance in Dutch Limburg. But the story would not be complete if we would not also show other groups. This applies especially to the forced laborers, who often initially had evaded forced labor and were then apprehended. Some also rebelled against the conditions during their forced labor.
The longer the war lasted, the more the distinctions between the forced labor camps, which were still open at first, and the concentration camps became blurred.
More than twenty million people were subjected to forced labor in the German Reich during the Nazi era and in the territories occupied by the Wehrmacht during World War II.
