Since then this isn't an only an important place in Luxembourgish history and of the Shoah, but also for all those families that are tied to it in other ways.

Every year the first Sunday in July commemorates those 300 Jewish people who deported and held in the monastery in Cinqfontaines by Troisvierges.

From this point the Nazis incarcerated refugees as well as Jewish between the years of 1941 and 1943.
