Memorial "1939-1945 People were robbed of their dignity"

Here, at the U-Bahn Transit Station "Plärrer" stands a plaque, placed in 2007, that reads:

"1939-1945 wurden Menschen ihrer Würde Beraubt

Nürnberg, die Stadt des Friedens und der Menschenrechte gedenkt der Leidens der ausländischen Arbeitskräfte, die wahrend des Zweiten Weltkriegs hier in allen Bereichen der Wirtschaft eingesetzt waren und bekennt sich zu dem Unrecht, das ihnen angetan wurde."

In English it reads:
"1939-1945 people were robbed of their dignity

Nuremberg, the city of peace and human rights, commemorates the suffering of the foreign workers employed in all sectors of the economy during the Second World War and confesses to the injustice done to them."
