exhibition
The exhibition sheds light on the lost traces of 4,000 forced laborers brought to Luxembourg during the Second World War from Nazi-occupied Soviet territories. Half of them were Ukrainians, one-third Russians, and one-fifth Belarusians, primarily young women, adolescents, and children. Their daily lives and working conditions in industries, mines, agriculture, and private households were reconstructed as part of a research project by the University of Luxembourg, documented in Inna Ganschow's book: "Nobody cried, there were no tears left" (in German), Luxembourg, 2025.
Through maps of the camps in Luxembourg, preserved objects, and personal accounts, the exhibition examines the experiences under German occupation's rule and highlights their lasting impact both post-liberation and upon their return to their home countries. Curated by Joëlla van Donkersgoed.
