World War II is one of the most studied conflicts in history, but the role of Afro-descendant diasporas in this chapter remains largely invisible. Yet, hundreds of thousands of Afro-descendant soldiers and civilians played a decisive role in the armed forces of the Allied nations, participating in battles and supporting war efforts that contributed to victory over the Axis powers.

Beyond the military, many Afro-descendants and Africans, sometimes deported, participated in the war effort through forced labor, particularly in war industries. In France and elsewhere, Afro-descendants were also active in the resistance, risking their lives to fight against Nazi occupation, exemplified by Josephine Baker.

The temporary exhibition "World War II", the persecution of black-skinned people in Luxembourg, directed by curators Andrés Marques and Jérôme Courtoy, invites you to uncover the stories of Afro-descendants who were in Luxembourg during this period and whose traces have been found.

Such an exhibition is a highly valuable educational tool to inform the public about the persecution of black people during World War II; it highlights the obstacles, injustices, and struggles these communities faced through photographs.
