Luxembourg
Exhibition from February 4 to March 29, 2025. In 1939, the SS special camp Hinzert, near Trier in Germany, was created as a police disciplinary camp. On July 1, 1940, it became a concentration camp. Tens of thousands of political prisoners from different countries, including about 1,500 Luxembourgers, were incarcerated in Hinzert. They had to perform hard forced labor and endure brutal interrogations. Over 300 deaths are documented, but the number of unidentified cases is much higher. Among them, three major assassination campaigns, including the executions of 44 Luxembourgish resistance fighters at the beginning of September 1942 and on February 25, 1944. In total, about 80 Luxembourgers died at Hinzert.
