Human commodity is a musical-documentary memorial by the Marc Sinan Company and the Documentation Center Nazi Forced Labor. An interactive app commemorates 99 places of remembrance in Berlin that can be explored on foot, by bike or by train.

Forced labor was a central component of the Nazi dictatorship - in Berlin alone, over 500,000 people worked under duress. The interactive app Human Commodity commemorates 99 of these places and makes the stories behind them audible in 99 musical miniatures by Marc Sinan. Recorded in 2022 by musicians and artists in Berlin, these audio miniatures are representative of all victims of Nazi forced labor. With the help of the integrated map, the individual stations can be easily reached and connected on various routes by foot, train or bicycle. The app is intended to encourage people to take notice of these 99 places.
