Correct answer: Zwangsarbeit Forced labour
Why?
Article 12 of the Grundgesetz (Basic Law) states that no one may be forced to do a particular kind of work. Forced labour is allowed only for people held in detention by court order. The same article protects the free choice of occupation, and military service and working abroad are not forbidden.
Key term: Zwangsarbeit = forced labour
