Drawing on more than a decade’s worth of historical, forensic and archaeological research, this book presents the first detailed investigation of the lives of the thousands of forced and slave labourers sent to Alderney under Nazi occupation. -- .
‘Adolf Island’ offers new forensic, archaeological and spatial perspectives on the Nazi forced and slave labour programme that was initiated on the Channel Island of Alderney during its occupation in the Second World War.
