They arrived from Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Czech Republic, France, Holland and Belgium – forced work laborers, who were taking care of providing supplies for the front during the 2nd World War in Germany. They worked in munitions factories, produced household products or were working in agriculture. During this period there were around 13 million of these forced employees working for the Third Empire. They were dragged mostly from the countries occupied by the German army or from the German protectorates. This experience changed the lives of many of these people forever. For the first time, this documentary looks at the fates of the forced employees after the war. It tries to find the answer to the question of how their lives were influenced by this experience. What happened to Ukrainian Inna Klimenko, Polish Barbara Muller and Czech Libusa Andrlicka? 3 fates, which could not be more different but still have something in common – forced labor in Nazi Germany.
