Verviers and its industries: workers testify

Discover the Book on Verviers and its Industries , Workers share their stories.

This book is a valuable contribution to the working-class history of the Verviers region, once an international wool industry hub. It is a collective work, bringing together testimonies of past realities whose perception and meaning have gradually faded over time. Verviers and its Industries might interest you: as a memory of a bygone era, this book is not a nostalgic work. It is not a history textbook but rather a book about life itself.

The book is divided into two parts:

• “When the elders remember” – a collection of memories from older generations.
• “Life stories” – personal accounts from those who lived through these times.
