Nexperia is celebrating 100 years of History in Hamburg this year. We cannot do that without acknowledging the darkest time in Germany’s history. 1934 to 1945 marked the darkest chapter in German history, culminating in World War II.
During WWII, around 500,000 forced laborers worked under catastrophic conditions as part of Hamburg’s war economy, including the factory at the Stresemannallee operating under RRF/Valvo.
On 18 June 1944, 140 forced laborers working at Stresemannallee died in an air raid. Today, there is a monument and six gravestones in the Ohlsdorf cemetery commemorating the tragedy. A memorial plaque was installed at the site of the bombing in 2005, listing the names of every victim.
Please join us in embracing Germany’s Culture of Remembrance (Erinnerungskultur) to keep the memory of these dark times alive so they will not happen again.
You can learn more about the forced laborers at Philips Valvo-Werke GmbH on Stresemannallee on the official Hamburg site – https://hubs.li/Q02r1RkV0
