Another rather interesting article by the Sueddeutsche Zeitung dated 01 October 2021. During WW2, Bahlsen- Biscuits-Factories had more than 700 Forced Labour, mostly woman. The article is about two woman (95 and 97today ) and there tough life. Hunger crisis in the 1930ees, terror during the Stalin time and the time in Germany. When the Wehrmacht moved to Kiev in 1942,Bahlsen took over a chocolate factory. On 01 March 1943 most women were forced into cattle wagons and eventually arrived at the Bahlsen factory in Hannover. Getting to and from the factory they used the tram wearing a sign Ost and not allowed to sit inside. In the factory they were treated well. Only recently the Bahlsen family asked for help from the historian Manfred Grieger to change some of the inside views and thoughts about the NS time. Stefan.
