Luxembourg
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 forced to perform hard labor and endure brutal interrogations. Over 300 documented deaths occurred, but the number of undocumented cases is much higher. Among them were three major murder operations, including the executions of 44 Luxembourg resistance fighters at the beginning of September 1942 and on February 25, 1944.
In total, approximately 80 Luxembourgers died at Hinzert.
