The Managing Director for Human Resources and Organization of Volkswagen Saxony, Dirk Coers, emphasized: "I am proud of our apprentices who are committed to the memorial site work of Volkswagen with the International Auschwitz Committee and talk about it to their friends, families and colleagues." Memorial site work at Auschwitz and at the memorial site for victims of forced labor at the Volkswagen plant in Wolfsburg are a key element in Volkswagen's corporate culture. Coers: "Today, Volkswagen stands for tolerance, internationality and cosmo­politanism – here in Saxony and at more than 120 plants around the world. There is no space for marginalization within our company." Employees from 21 nations work at the plants of Volkswagen Saxony in Chemnitz, Dresden and Zwickau.
