Luxembourg camp literature has its literary roots in the literature of prisoners of war and prisoners of war of the First World War. During their Soviet imprisonment from 1943 to 1953, the Luxembourg conscripts continued a tradition of documentarism that did not want to create fictional narrative worlds, but instead focused exclusively on what they had experienced themselves. A large part of the texts left behind is also not literature that was written for a larger audience. They have often been published by the authors themselves.

L’archivage du Web depuis 1996, d’abord par Internet Archive, avant que se multiplient les initiatives institutionnelles, notamment européennes, a créé un vaste patrimoine nativement numérique des luttes sociales. Évolutif dans le temps, dans l’espace et selon les plateformes, il invite à penser la notion d’archive vivante, les relations entre mémoire et histoire, les écritures de l’histoire des luttes sociales, les potentialités mais aussi les risques (méthodologiques, éthiques) qu’il pose.

Since the 1970s, the Publications Office of the European Union, the official publisher of all the institutions and bodies of the EU, has had to adapt to a fast-changing situation as the number of EU Member States has grown and the number and nature of publications has evolved (including publishing public tenders of EU institutions and Member States in 1978 through a supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union and handling CELEX, an interinstitutional and multilingual automated documentation system for community law, in 1992).

Who were the Luxembourgish legionnaires? What were they doing in France? Why did they decide to enrol? How have they been portrayed and remembered?

Puisant ses racines dans l’antiquité gréco-romaine, forgeant sa teneur dès l’apparition des premiers États-nations au Moyen-Âge, et se profilant de manière résolue à l’époque contemporaine, l’idée européenne s’est effectivement concrétisée au XXe siècle. Avant qu’elle ne devienne un véritable projet politique, l’idée européenne est restée limitée au cercle des visionnaires, qui ambitionnaient de préserver la paix par la construction d’une Europe unie.

The contribution will introduce the process of designing two IWalk tours with bachelor students in Luxembourg. The presentation will contain the digital source criticism and new perspectives of digital hermeneutics related to themes of individual stops. The students were divided into two working groups, with each group assigned to a different area. Group A was in charge of designing a virtual tour in Luxembourg City and group B created one for the town of Esch-sur-Alzette.

Inna Ganschow, hofft, gemeinsam mit Tambower Kollegen durch die genauen Sterbelisten der letzten Ruhestätte der Luxemburger, die im Lager umkamen, etwas näher zu kommen. „Sie wurden mit Verstorbenen anderer Nationalitäten zusammen in Massengräbern bestattet”, erklärt die Forscherin, „wo genau, darüber könnte der Abgleich zwischen einer technischen Zeichnung des Lagerfriedhofs, auf der die Orte der Bestattungen chronologisch aufgeführt sind und den chronologischen Sterbelisten der Lagerleitung Aufschluss geben”
