Most came from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldavia, the Baltic countries, France, Poland and Italy. Among them were 8.4 million civilians working for private companies and public agencies in industry, administration and agriculture. In addition, there were 4.6 million prisoners of war and 1.7 million concentration camp prisoners who were either subjected to forced labour in concentration or similar camps or were ‘rented out’ or sold by the SS. While there are numerous publications on forced labour in National Socialist Germany during World War II, this publication combines a historical account of events with the biographies and memories of former forced labourers from twenty-seven countries, offering a comparative international perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tRemembrance, Responsibility and Future\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eForeword\u003c\/b\u003e by the \u003ci\u003eBoard of Directors of the Foundation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART I\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tEditors’ Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART II\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e Reports from Germany on Forced and Slave Labour\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eAlexander von Plato\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e Work, Repression and Death after the Spanish Civil War\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMercedes Vilanova\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e Czechs as Forced and Slave Labourers during the Second World War\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eŠárka Jarská\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e Slovak Republic (1939-1945)\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eViola Jakschová\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e ‘You can’t say it out loud.
