During the Nazi occupation of Luxembourg (May 1940 – September 1944), the train station in Hollerich served as one of the main gathering sites and departure points for young Luxembourgers forced to join the German labour service ( the “RAD”) and the German military service.
Furthermore, thousands of politically unfavourable Luxembourgers were deported from Hollerich.
The purpose of this website is to offer a guide to both general public and researchers of the museums of European political and violence, what content they offer and the topics that are not sufficiently represented. This website wants to help us to rethink the realities, shortcomings and possibilities of Public History in Europe.
