"World War II" Circular Walk

On 10 May 1940, the Wehrmacht invaded the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, marking the beginning of a 4-year long occupation until the country’s liberation on 10 September 1944. The German invasion prompted the grand ducal family, along with government ministers, to go into exile. To this day, the city bears witness to this dark period which resulted in the death of 2% of the country’s population.
