OST: The vanished traces of the forced labourers from Ukraine, Russia & Belarus in Luxembourg 1942-1944

The exhibition shows the vanished traces of 4,000 forced laborers brought to Luxembourg during World War II from Nazi-occupied territories of the Soviet Union. Half of them were from Ukraine, a third from Russia, and a fifth from Belarus. A large proportion were young women, teenagers, and children. Their daily lives in barracks and working conditions in steel mills, mines, agriculture, and private homes were reconstructed as part of a research project by the University of Luxembourg and published in a book by Inna Ganschow “Nobody cried, there were no tears left” (in German), Luxembourg 2025.
