Heritage
In 1939, the Hinzert SS special camp near Trier in Germany was established as a disciplinary police camp. On July 1, 1940, it became a concentration camp. Tens of thousands of political prisoners from various countries were incarcerated at Hinzert, including about 1,500 Luxembourgers. They were forced to perform hard labor and endure 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 Luxembourg resistance fighters in early September 1942 and on February 25, 1944. In total, about 80 Luxembourgers died at Hinzert.
