Synopsis:

Based on archival footage and interviews, this film reconstructs the history of those who worked as slave labour under the Third Reich. More than ten million people, apart from the prisoners in the concentration camps, were forced to work in Germany during World War II. Most of them died of hunger and exhaustion; many were brutally killed when the Germans no longer needed them. Today, some one and a half million of these former forced labourers are still alive, a number of them having tried to get some sort of compensation for more than fifty years.
