Open-air Exhibition: Executed at Hinzert
In 1939, the special SS 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 different countries were incarcerated at Hinzert, including about 1,500 Luxembourgers. They had to perform hard forced labor and endure brutal interrogations. More than 300 deaths are documented, but the number of unidentified cases is much higher. Among these are three major assassination campaigns, including the executions of 44 Luxembourgish resistance fighters in early September 1942 and on February 25, 1944. In total, about 80 Luxembourgers died in Hinzert.
