Monument National de la Solidarite

A memorial constructed to commemorate the country’s resistance to Nazi occupation.

The Monument of the Resistance and the Deportation, also called the National Monument of Solidarity, is a monument that can be found in Luxembourg City. In 1965, it was built to commemorate the nation's struggle against Nazi rule during World War II and the sacrifices made by its citizens. The monument consists of a massive bronze statue of a woman clutching a sword and a shield, signifying the spirit of resistance and solidarity.

The stone pedestal on which the statue is placed has the words ‘The Country Remembers Its Heroes’ carved into it. In the centre of Luxembourg City, on Place de la Résistance, is where the monument may be found.

The National Monument of Solidarity is a significant representation of Luxembourg's history and the valour of its citizens during the conflict. From 1940 until 1944, Nazi Germany ruled the nation, and during that time, numerous Luxembourgers engaged in acts of sabotage and resistance. The monument is a must-see location for anybody interested in the history of Luxembourg and the European resistance during World War II. It is conveniently reachable by foot, automobile, or public transportation.
