Luxembourg
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 different countries were incarcerated at Hinzert, including around 1,500 Luxembourgers. They were subjected to hard forced labor and brutal interrogations. Over 300 deaths are documented, but the number of unrecorded cases is much higher. Among them were three major killing campaigns, including the executions of 44 Luxembourg resistance fighters in early September 1942 and on February 25, 1944. Overall, approximately 80 Luxembourgers died at Hinzert.
