History
Georges Even will present his new book, which highlights one of the darkest chapters in Luxembourg's wartime history in a way never done before. Through 100 individual stories, the lives of Luxembourgers who served in the Waffen-SS during World War II and fought alongside the Germans are depicted. Although some were forced to join as "volunteers," a significant number of Luxembourgers actively participated in one of the most criminal units of the war. Some even served as "guards" in concentration camps. Those who survived the war were later tried by Luxembourg courts and often received heavy sentences. The book also provides information on the fate of Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS soldiers who died in Luxembourg and are now buried at the German military cemeteries in Sandweiler and Bitburg.
