HÉLÈNE FAURIAT | FROM THE RESISTANCE TO FORCED LABOR IN SCHÖNEFELD

This poignant exhibition at the Nazi Forced Labour Documentation Centre details the life of Hélène Fauriat, a member of the French Resistance during World War II. After being arrested by the Gestapo in 1944, she was deported to the Ravensbrück concentration camp before being transferred to a subcamp at the Henschel-Werke in Schönefeld for forced labor. The project is a collaborative effort between the Amy-Johnson-Gymnasium and the Documentation Centre. It uses personal biography to shed light on the broader history of resistance and the brutal reality of the Nazi forced labor system. Visitors can expect a deeply moving historical narrative supported by archival research.
