Departure Neuaubing is a digital history project developed by the Munich Documentation Center as an interactive and interdisciplinary web app that tells the story of Nazi-era forced labor as a story with threads leading all over Europe.
Departure Neuaubing is a digital exhibition project on the history of Nazi forced labor and its continuing impact today. Digital media can help us to overcome distances and highlight transnational and transhistorical references and connections. Nazi-era forced labor entailed the deportation of people from many different European countries. The Munich district of Neuaubing was a center of the Nazi arms industry. Here people from the Soviet Union, Poland, the Netherlands, France, Italy, and other countries were forced to work and were accommodated in one of the many Nazi forced labor camps.
Departure Neuaubing can be accessed online and is also presented in the foyer of the Munich Documentation Center. The exhibition architecture was designed by the set designer Janina Sieber and invites visitors to linger and engage with the topic.
