Widersprechen gegen das Vergessen. Tschechoslowakische Zwangsarbeiter*innen in der Region Bremen
Forced laborers from the occupied territories of what was then Czechoslovakia (“Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia”) are among the most invisible victims of National Socialist crimes in and around Bremen.
It is very difficult to find traces of this group of prisoners, but we still want to bring the Czech forced laborers more into the focus of public perception in Bremen and counteract oblivion. To this end, activists from various institutions and initiatives will come together at a public event for a workshop discussion to discuss the current state of knowledge and to try to find possible approaches to continue working together on this issue.
Following the discussion, we would like to invite you to a concert with the Czech band Monika Načeva and Zdivočelí koně in memory of the Czech and Slovak victims of National Socialist crimes in Bremen and the surrounding area.
