We would like to thank Józef Przedpełski and all of the other witnesses who have shared their memories with us.
The most important basis of sources is the collection of testimonies, interviews, photos and documents of Nazi forced labour which the Berliner Geschichtswerkstatt has been collecting since 1993.
