The tour will last approximately two hours.
On the tour through Rothenditmold and North Holland, the focus is on the armaments industry. It's about large companies like Henschel and Wegmann and the operating structures at the time, but also about the “little people”, who wanted or had to work there. Furthermore, it is questioned, what armaments and forced labor still have to do with us today.
