A two-volume project connecting Luxembourg’s history, individual lives and the places where memory endures. The manuscripts are being written and will be enriched with documented sources, photographs and personal accounts.
From Luxembourg before the war to the invasion of May 1940, the Occupation, resistance and forced conscription, followed by the Liberation and the Battle of the Bulge. The narrative also explores reconstruction, justice, European integration and the passing on of memory.
A companion for exploring the vehicles, weapons and equipment, monuments, cemeteries, museums and routes connected to the war in Luxembourg. Personal experiences and traces of everyday life help bring these places and objects into focus.
Family photographs, historical documents, scenes of daily life, soldiers’ or civilians’ memories, and present-day photographs of equipment and memorial sites: every contribution is welcome. Public administrations, ministries, municipalities, museums, associations and individuals are invited to take part.
The booklet below lists the images sought and preserves their reference numbers. Entries already documented are marked “Déjà trouvé” (already found). For Volume II, you can also suggest a photograph by specifying its subject or location.
