duced vehicles for the German army,
mainly trucks.
Four kinds of laborers, aside from
the regular German Ford employees,
were used in the plant, said
Rintamaki.
Volunteer workers from France
and Italy were the first outsiders to
work there, followed by prisoners-of-
war from Western Europe rounded
up by the German military.
Forced laborers, non-military per-
sons who came from Eastern Europe
but did not go to concentration
camps, appeared between 1941 and
1942, Rintamaki said. At one time,
about 2,000 worked at the complex.
Sixty-five slave laborers from
Buchenwald worked at a Ford-Werke
satellite camp between August 1944
and March 1945.
"We didn't learn new information
that changes our view of history, but
it does shed additional light on what
happened to American interests in
Germany," Rintamaki said.
The subsidiary was marginally
profitable during the first two years
of the war, but much less profitable
during the last few years of the war,
he said. After 1939, no Americans
were allowed on the board of Ford-
Werke.
Forty-five archivists, historians,
researchers and translators searched
more than 30 archival repositories
around the world, resulting in a
database of about 98,000 pages of
documents.
The documents will be added to
the collection at the Benson Ford
Research Center at Henry Ford
Museum & Greenfield Village in
Dearborn, said Steven Hamp, muse-
um president. "Our collections are
open to any scholar or other inter-
ested party to use as a resource tool."
Ford Motor Company also
announced two separate endowment
funds: $2 million to establish a cen-
ter for the study of human rights
issues and a $2 million donation to
the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Center for Corporate Citizenship to
support its World War II
Humanitarian Fund, said Rintamaki.
The center will be administered
separately by a university that has
yet to be selected, he said.
The Humanitarian Fund donation
"will be used to fund internationally
recognized organizations whose mis-
sion is to help survivors of economic
terrorism under the Nazi regime,
including forced and slave laborers."
