History
The former "Jewish retirement home" Cinqfontaines (Fünfbrunnen) in northern Luxembourg is an example of a central but often overlooked structure in the National Socialist persecution system: internment sites for Jewish people.
They were far more than just logistical stopovers, they were spaces of extreme exclusion and disenfranchisement where individual biographies, family structures and social ties were violently destroyed. Despite their crucial role in the Holocaust, internment sites have often remained in the shadow of concentration and extermination camps. Their history, their material and immaterial traces, and their reception in the culture of remembrance therefore deserve more intensive academic examination.
This conference takes the example of Cinqfontaines as a starting point to comparatively examine detention sites as an independent category in the National Socialist camp and detention system.
