Film & Lecture: DESERTION @Museum, Esch/Alzette
After World War II, a military chaplain recalls the young soldiers who lost their nerves on the Eastern Front and deserted. In the military prison, he also had to take care of Josy, a Luxembourger who had been forcibly recruited. Josy could no longer endure the Wehrmacht’s atrocities at the front and the assaults on the civilian population; he deserted, was caught again, and sentenced to death by a military court. In the final weeks of his life, he wrote regularly from prison to his young wife and parents, confided in the military chaplain, and sought strength in his faith.
