The project has aimed to document, scientifically analyze, and disseminate the history of prisoner camps operating during World War II in Nuremberg, specifically in the area that served as the venue for Nazi Party rallies in the 1930s. This massive architectural complex, serving the ideological and propaganda purposes of National Socialism, were transformed in 1939 into a place of isolation for hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war and forced laborers from Poland, the Benelux countries, France, Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union, Italy, England, and the USA.
As a result of the project, the mobile exhibition (prepared in Polish and German) focuses on the fate of three groups of prisoners: soldiers from Poland, the Soviet Union, and Italy, whose common experience was the obligation to work for the enemy. Employed in various industrial plants in Nuremberg and the central Franconia region, they often worked in extremely difficult conditions, losing their health, and sometimes their lives.
The exhibition disseminates knowledge about their collective and individual fates in a place known to everyone for entirely different events.
