History
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 different countries were incarcerated at Hinzert, including about 1,500 Luxembourgers. They had to perform hard forced labor and endure brutal interrogations. Over 300 deaths are documented, but the number of unidentified cases is much higher. Among them are three major murder campaigns, including the executions of 44 Luxembourg résistants in early September 1942 and on February 25, 1944. In total, about 80 Luxembourgers died at Hinzert.
