In 1939, the SS special camp of Hinzert near Trier, Germany, was established as a disciplinary police camp. On July 1, 1940, it became a concentration camp. Tens of thousands of political prisoners from different countries were incarcerated in Hinzert, including around 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 them are three major assassination campaigns, including the executions of 44 Luxembourgish resistors in early September 1942 and on February 25, 1944. In total, about 80 Luxembourgers died in Hinzert.
