Code Viking 1942-2021

In cooperation with the Center for Public History in Belgrade and the War and Peace Museum। Narviksenteret in Narvik, and with the support of the German Federal Foreign Office and the EVZ Foundation “Remembrance Responsibility Future” (in the funding program “young people remember”), Vajswerk in Berlin organized the research project “Code Viking 1942-2021”.

Starting – in the pandemic – with online meetings on a national and international level, in the summer of 2021 young people from Serbia, Germany and Norway set out themselves: to find out the story of the forced laborers who were deported from German-occupied Serbia to German-occupied Norway starting in the summer of 1942.

The journey from Belgrade to Berlin was overshadowed in the process by a serious bus accident; but finally there are films from Belgrade and Narvik with which the project can reach its conclusion – you will find it HERE.
