On Sunday 21 September 2025, Luxembourg inaugurated a memorial wall in honour of Jewish victims of Nazism at the Kaddish Monument (Memorial to the Victims of the Shoah) in the capital.
Minister of Justice, Elisabeth Margue, participated in this formal inauguration and spoke on behalf of the Luxembourg government.
This wall displays the names of 1,225 Jewish victims of Nazism in Luxembourg. According to Luxembourg's Ministry of State and the Second World War Remembrance Service, it aims to honour the memory of those who were exterminated by the Nazi occupiers during the Second World War.
This monument was created at the initiative of MemoShoah, with the support of the Luxembourg government, the City of Luxembourg (VdL), the Jewish Consistory of Luxembourg and the Luxembourg Foundation for the Remembrance of the Shoah.
On the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, the authorities noted the importance of lessons learned from "these dark hours of history for future generations, so that hatred and persecution of others never again take root in our societies".
