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 imprisoned in Hinzert, including about 1,500 Luxembourgers. They were forced to perform hard labor and endured brutal interrogations. Over 300 deaths are documented, but the number of undocumented cases is much higher. Among them are three major assassination campaigns, including the executions of 44 Luxembourgish resistors in early September 1942 and on February 25, 1944. In total, about 80 Luxembourgers died in Hinzert.
