HÉLÈNE FAURIAT | FROM RESISTANCE TO FORCED LABOR IN SCHÖNEFELD

The Documentation Center for Nazi Forced Labor presents a moving exhibition on the life of Hélène Fauriat, a member of the French Résistance. Arrested by the Gestapo in 1944 for her defiance of German occupation, she was deported to Ravensbrück before being moved to the Henschel-Werke forced labor camp in Schönefeld. The exhibition, created in collaboration with the Amy-Johnson-Gymnasium, uses her biography to shed light on individual courage amidst systematic oppression. Visitors can explore personal documents and historical contexts that define her survival and struggle. It is a vital educational experience that connects personal narratives with broader European history. Admission is free, making this important history accessible to everyone.
