Musée National de la Résistance et des Droits Humains

The National Museum of Resistance and Human Rights was opened in 1956 in the center of the city and is located in the pedestrian zone. Former prisoners of the Nazi concentration camps participated in its conception. The museum focuses on the Luxembourg population, its reactions to the Nazi regime (resistance, collaboration) and life under the occupation of the German army, as well as on the structure of the Nazi party. It also follows the fate of the Jewish population during the Second World War and daily life in the concentration camps. The defense of human rights is one of the cornerstones of the museum's philosophy. 

The National Museum of Resistance and Human Rights aims to present to a general public subjects concerning the Second World War era, but also current themes related to resistance against human rights violations or to citizenship education.
