Karya 1943
Forced Labour and the Holocaust
The Album
The starting point of the exhibition is the photo collection of a German engineer who was deployed in Greece during the Second World War and carried out construction projects for the Wehrmacht. The album contains photographs of Jewish forced labourers. Andreas Assael, son of a Jewish survivor from Thessaloniki, discovered these unique photos at a flea market in Munich.
The Exhibition
The multimedia and participatory exhibition is the first to show these historical photos in the context of the German occupation and the Holocaust. In 1943, Jewish forced labourers had to remove a rock for a passing siding at the Karya railway station. Most of them were murdered in Auschwitz after completion in August 1943. The exhibition is the result of a Greek-German educational project and a cooperation between the Nazi Forced Labour Documentation Centre, the Foundation Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and the University of Osnabrück. It will be presented in parallel in Greece and Germany. A website offers information and innovative learning materials.
