New club would like to remind you of Luxembourg women in the concentration camp

There are fewer and fewer contemporary witnesses that can report on the atrocities during the Second World War, especially the crimes of the National Socialists.

It is all the more important to capture the memoirs of former concentration camp prisoners and resistance fighters and to point out the time again and again. A new association has now committed itself to this memory work – with a focus on the Luxembourg women.

« Associatioun fir d’frae vu lëtzebuerg am Zwetete Weltkrich » is the name of the ASBL. Luxembourg women who were imprisoned in the Ravensbrück concentration camp and other concentration camps and prisonswant to remember.

Important role models

« For us, these women are important role models that we should remember and whose experiences and memories we should pass on to the young people. We should tell their stories and show the following generations what courage and strength they could raise in these terrible times, » says a press letter from the association.

The reason for the establishment of the new memory community is that the Luxembourg women in concentration camps and resistance fighters have no longer have an official representation since the dissolution of the Amicals Ravensbrück and the death of the concentration camp surviving Germaine Paulus-Schaack.

The aim is to help the (forgotten) Luxembourg women to be more public attention and experience younger generations of them.
