As Hitler’s architect and armaments minister, Albert Speer (1905-1981) was responsible for the exploitation of millions of forced labourers and the expropriation of Jewish property. Decades later, his daughter Hilde Schramm (b. 1936), a member of the ‘Alternative List’ parliamentary group (later The Green Party) in the Berlin City Parliament, campaigned for the recognition of the Holocaust’s forgotten victims. She used the inheritance from her father to establish the foundation ZURÜCKGEBEN (Giving Back).
