The Krupp company once was the largest company in Europe, and one of largest wartime users of forced labor[citation needed] in Nazi Germany, including the Krupp munitions factory (Weichsel Union Metallwerke) in the Auschwitz death camp.[1] In 1959, the company promised to pay individual compensations of DM5,000 ($1,190) to 2,000 slave workers (2% of all the estimated 100,000 slave workers), totalling DM10,000,000 ($2,380,000). Adjusted for inflation this corresponds to approximately €18.4 million or $20.5 million in 2018.[2]
