History
In 1939, the SS Special Camp of Hinzert near Trier in Germany was established as a police disciplinary camp. On July 1, 1940, it became a concentration camp. Tens of thousands of political prisoners from various countries were incarcerated in Hinzert, including about 1,500 Luxembourgers. They were subjected to hard forced labor and brutal interrogations. More than 300 deaths are documented, but the number of unidentified cases is much higher. Among them, there were three major murder campaigns, including the executions of 44 Luxembourgish resistance fighters in early September 1942 and on February 25, 1944.
In total, about 80 Luxembourgers died in Hinzert.
