This website offers a variety of information services. The website Zwangsarbeit im NS-Staat is sponsored by the foundation Remembrance, Responsibility and Future (EVZ) and was created by the Federal Archives. The directory of places of detention was created by the EVZ. It has been made available to and is now edited by the Federal Archives.

Additional information on the directory of places of detention created by the EVZ

The directory of places of detention created by the EVZ is a database-assisted online directory that allows its users to quickly locate approximately 3,800 camps and places of detention that have been taken into consideration by the EVZ within the scope of payments to former forced labourers. The directory includes information on use, the time period during which a place was used to detain forced labourers, geographical location, and bibliographical references and sources.

The EVZ created the directory of places of detention with great care and researched the information and data on this website. Mistakes, however, cannot be ruled out entirely. For this reason, we assume no liability, guarantee, assurance or warranty concerning the timeliness, accuracy and completeness of the information and data available on this website.

Copyright

The entire directory of places of detention is protected by rights of the Federal Archives (see above) as well as copyright of the EVZ. Unauthorized use of content or entire pages will be subject to prosecution under criminal and civil law.

Disclaimer

Claims for damages against the EVZ and the Federal Archives as the operator are excluded regardless of the legal grounds, unless the operator, its legal representatives or agents have acted intentionally or with gross negligence. This limitation of liability does not apply to claims for damages arising from injuries to life, limb or health or to claims for damages resulting from a guarantee of quality or a fraudulent concealment of defects by the operator. The EVZ and the operator are not responsible for data contained in the directory of places of detention.
