Impressive permanent exhibition by Christian Boltanski, which commemorates the forced labourers. Whispering the names while walking through the lockers towards the mountain of clothes gives you goosebumps.

Impressive installation - the whispered names of the forced laborers increase the claustrophobic and eerie atmosphere.

A remarkable place. You can still feel the workers who started and ended their days here for generations.
