Shoah Memorial

Where? Boulevard Franklin Delano Roosevelt, L-2450 Luxembourg

On 17 June 2018 (75th anniversary of the last transport of Jews to Eastern Europe) a monument to the victims of the Shoah was inaugurated in Luxembourg city. It commemorates the 1300 members of the Jewish community of Luxembourg, victims of the Shoah, who were deported to the ghettos and extermination camps and murdered by the Nazis.

In 2009 representatives of the Jewish community and historians, having conducted extensive research on the confiscation of Jewish property, petitioned the government to erect a monument in commemoration of the victims of the Shoah in Luxembourg city. In 2018 this monument, named “Kaddish”, created by the Franco-Israeli sculptor Shelomo Selinger, was inaugurated in a location which marks the site of the first synagogue in the city.
