Film premiere

The Dessau-Roßlau municipal archive holds an extensive collection of documents, photos and eyewitness accounts of former forced labourers, including three former Belgian forced labourers. On the basis of these eyewitness interviews, with documents from these eyewitnesses, archival materials from the city archive and other archival and audiovisual sources, an approx. 58-minute documentary film entitled “Remembrance” was made. The author of the film is the documentary filmmaker Klaus D. Schwarz (among others “… und Tante Ju zog in den Krieg”). The film project was professionally accompanied by the Dessau-Roßlau City Archive, financially supported by the Saxony-Anhalt State Agency for Civic Education and the City of Dessau-Roßlau.

The premiere screening of the film “Erinnerung” will take place on Tuesday, 15 November 2022, at 7 p.m. in the auditorium of the Gymnasium Philanthropinum, Friedrich-Naumann-Straße 2, 06844 Dessau-Roßlau. The event is open to the public and admission is free. Come with us on an exciting, informative and moving cinematic journey through time.
