In 1939, the SS special camp 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. Over 300 deaths are documented, but the undocumented number is much higher. Among these were three major assassination campaigns, including the executions of 44 Luxembourg resistors in early September 1942 and on February 25, 1944. In total, about 80 Luxembourgers died in Hinzert.
