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