Exhibit structure and content

Four areas of insight

The four different areas of the museum provide comprehensive insights into the inhuman system of forced labor under the NS regime at the Linz location. The victims of the national-socialist regime's forced labor are given a voice by means of audio documentation that is accompanied by a comprehensive series of explanations, visual materials and multi-media stations. 38,000 personnel files and salary slips from the Linz operations of Reichswerke Hermann Göring in the years from 1938 to 1945 form the basis of the museum.
