Use of forced labor at Blechhammer during the Second World War
Historical accounts state that Dyckerhoff & Widmann used prisoners from Camp No. 36 at the Blechhammer labor subcamp associated with Auschwitz III. Most of those prisoners died in 1945 during death marches or subsequent imprisonment. This is a documented wartime human-rights abuse connected with the company's operations.
