The students are not the first to come to Campus Belval every day. Eighty years ago, it was young people who had been deported from the occupied territories of the USSR to Luxembourg to work in the steel industry in Belval.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, there is no trace of the presence of the Ukrainian, Russian and Belarusian girls who were forced to work for ARBED in Belval every day. One of their barracks camps was right next to the factory, where the roundabout is today at Raemerich. The male camp for male Soviet prisoners of war was located between the current Lyceum Bel-Val and the two chimneys. There were several such camps throughout the country: in Schifflange, Lallange, Esch, Dudelange, Differdange… In total, about 4,000 people, mostly young women from Ukraine, were found in the course of the scientific project conducted in six countries, 2,600 of whom were identified by name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
