Niederkorn War memorial "Monument aux Morts"

A little time travel journey through the galleries of the Fond-de-Gras

Fancy a journey back in time ?

This life-size reconstruction takes you back to the days of the Second World War when a group of young Luxembourgers hid in a mine to escape the obligation to serve in the German army and wear the Nazi uniform.

The US memorial “September 9, 1944 – We will never forget” of Pétange, is actually dedicated to the 2nd Lt. Hyman Josefson, recorded as the first US soldier to loose his life on Luxembourg territory on September 9, 1944, the first day of American troops crossing the French border area liberating parts of southern Luxembourg.

Putting Work and local history center stage

Remembering the past

A historic bond that should never be forgotten

This memorial is dedicated to 2nd. Lt. Hyman Josefson, the first US casualty in Luxembourg during World War II

This regional museum focuses on the complex history of forced recruitment during the Nazi occupation of Luxembourg and provides a poignant insight into the suffering of the Dudelange population during the war.
