Kaddish Holocaust Memorial, Luxembourg City
In June 2018, a 4-meter high sculptural monument honoring Holocaust victims was unveiled in Luxembourg City. It is a work by the French-Israeli artist Shelomo Selinger, who survived nine concentration camps.
Called “Kaddish,” it stands on the site of the synagogue that was built in 1894 and destroyed by the Nazis in 1943.
There is also a Shoah Memorial Trail in Luxembourg City, with an Audio Guide.
A Holocaust Memorial near the Funfbrunnen (Cinqfontaines) Monastery near Troisvierges in northern Luxembourg commemorates the site from which about 700 Jews were deported. After the Nazi invasion of 10 May 1940, Jews were taken here and held in the monastery. The site was called a ‘retirement’ or ‘old age home’ (Jüdische Altersheim), but in reality was a concentration camp where Jews were held until deportation further east. See PHOTO.
