Zweiter Weltkrieg

The virtual exhibition “Through the lens” narrates World War II in Luxembourg and the Greater Region through oral history interviews. It has been curated by the students of the Master in Contemporary European History in the context of a research seminar on oral history and under the supervision of Prof. Andreas Fickers and German filmmaker Loretta Walz.

Dans son édition d’avril 2016, la revue d'histoire luxembourgeoise « Hémecht » a publié l’article « Le Benelux et les réfugiés fuyant l’Allemagne nazie: les spécificités du Luxembourg » rédigé par Frank Caestecker et Denis Scuto.

On 25th March, the C²DH organised another successful ForumZ, this time on the Second World War and research perspectives in this area. The format chosen for the event promoted an interactive exchange between the public and the guest speakers.

The second ForumZ analysed the history, memory and legacy of the Second World War, exploring issues related to the occupation, the resistance, collaboration and Jewish persecution.
