Heim ins Reich (2004)

From 1940 to 1944, Nazi Germany occupied Luxembourg, aiming to assimilate the population into German culture. Ironically, this effort to absorb Luxembourg into the Third Reich sparked a growing sense of national identity. The film uses largely unseen archival footage to depict the conflict between Nazi ideology and the desire for an independent Grand Duchy. This clash was a profound cultural shock for a nation discovering its own identity. The film’s emotional core is built upon firsthand accounts from those who lived through this difficult time.
