Correspondences from and to German labor service, 1939-1945 | Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust
German labor service was organized as part of the war effort on the home front. As early as 1941, German economy started experience deficiency if labor force. German authorities commenced a propagandistic campaign in the German-controlled and occupied territories, attempting to attract, especially young men and women for labor in Germany. Their principle arguments were better living conditions and common effort in the military campaigns through the devoted labor in German economy. There were many who volunteered for better economic conditions. For Jews, especially for Jewish women, volunteering for labor service in Germany under false identity, was the only way to survive the Holocaust.
