S5 E20 Her parents were slave labor in WWII. Why aren't we talking about that more?

  1. S5 E20 Her parents were slave labor in WWII. Why aren't we talking about that more? Amanda Blackwood 28:59

Oksana’s parents were both ‘conscripted’ into being slave labor for the Nazis. They weren’t in a concentration camp, so we’ve never heard of them. But there were more people forced into slave labor during the war than were killed in camps. This is a side of the war rarely (if ever) discussed. It’s time that changed.
