It\u2019s just one of the many ways she is raising voices for individuals in overlooked communities.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A prolific writer, Inna Ganschow says that for every project she\u2019s working on, she has more in the pipeline. \u201c<strong>I\u2019m a storyteller<\/strong>,\u201d she explains. \u201c<strong>I like people. I like migrants. I like women. Underprivileged people deserve a voice<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With broad interests across various disciplines\u2014oral history, the language heritage of minorities, writing techniques in captivity\u2014plus a solid background in journalism, she has several books to her name, including her PhD thesis in 2013 on postmodern Russian literature and a monograph on multicultural migration from Russia, titled <strong><em>100 Jahre Russen in Luxemburg. Geschichte einer atomisierten Diaspora in Luxembur<\/em><\/strong><em><strong>g<\/strong> <\/em>(<em>100 Years of Russians in Luxembourg: History of an Atomized Diaspora<\/em>) published in 2020 in German.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past few years, her research at the C\u00b2DH has predominantly focused on two main areas: research on the history of Soviet forced labourers in Luxembourg during World War II for her latest publication as well as recording and analysing the oral histories of recent Ukrainian refugees following Russia\u2019s invasion of the country in 2022, captured in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c2dh.uni.lu\/report\/2023\/witnessing-the-now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Witnessing the Now<\/a> and the subsequent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/c2dh-en\/research-projects\/u-core\/\">U-CORE<\/a> project.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/c2dh-en\/news\/forced-labor-on-the-belval-campus-soviet-youth-during-the-second-world-war\/\">research on Soviet forced labourers in Luxembourg<\/a>, financed in cooperation between the Luxembourg Ministry of State and the C\u00b2DH, is the first academic project on this topic. It aims not only to approach the topic in the transnational view, but also to glean more insight on the personal histories of those brought to work in the steel mills of Luxembourg, one of which was situated at Belval, Esch-sur-Alzette, where the University of Luxembourg today has one of its main campuses. Forced labour in the Grand Duchy is moved from the level of the local episode into the context of European and world history. \u201c<strong>This is the history of Ukrainian, Russian and Belarusian civilians\u2014mostly females, mostly teenagers, mostly dealing with male administration in three different types of camps: German, American and Soviet<\/strong>,\u201d Ganschow explains, adding that male prisoners of war also served as forced labourers not only in the steel industry but also in the agricultural sector and private households.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"\u201cKeiner weinte, es gab keine Tr\u00e4nen mehr\u201d book launch with Inna Ganschow\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/03\/IMG_9723.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/03\/IMG_9723-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/03\/IMG_9723-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/03\/IMG_9723-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/03\/IMG_9723.jpg 1500w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 54.00% 95.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 54.00% 95.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 16\/9; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>            <p class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image-caption\">\n            \u201cKeiner weinte, es gab keine Tr\u00e4nen mehr\u201d. Ukrainische, russische und belarussische ZwangsarbeiterInnen in Luxemburg im Zweiten Weltkrieg aus transnationaler Sicht\u201c book launch with Inna Ganschow        <\/p>\n    <\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Initially, her intent was to travel to Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus for archival research and get accounts of eyewitnesses or their descendants, but these plans came to a halt with Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Ganschow turned to American archives instead, which provided her with a wealth of information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Ganschow began learning Ukrainian and volunteering with MMS Humanitas e.V., an ad-hoc organisation from Birburg, helping 800 people at the Ukraine-Poland border be placed into 300 German families near Luxembourg\u2019s borders. Being in contact with these refugees opened another new door for her research: some were willing to be interviewed for Witnessing the Now and U-CORE, others were Ukrainian researchers. Ganschow therefore helped found the Luxembourg Ukrainian Research Network, or LURN, and her Ukrainian counterparts provided her with critical connections. \u201c<strong>The war closed certain possibilities for me but opened other ones, through the new language, new colleagues, a new network<\/strong>,\u201d Ganschow recalls.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"memories-of-life-as-a-labourer-and-beyond\"\n    >\nMemories of life as a labourer, and beyond<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although some of the local archivists in Ukraine were able to provide Ganschow with materials, there were, of course, other challenges. Archivists were working under horrible circumstances, including bombing, with heating, electricity and internet connections often down. If it hadn\u2019t been for the war, Ganschow might have had to visit each of the local archives, given that they require individual labourer names for conducting research. \u201c<strong>Still, despite this emergency, people were interested in the history and willing to help<\/strong>,\u201d she says. \u201c<strong>Exactly where the war is happening now, most of the refugees coming to Luxembourg were coming from these regions also 80 years ago. Those were pretty much the same regions where the first labourers were brought to Luxembourg<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once regions fell under Russian occupation after the 2022 invasion, Russian archival laws were imposed. This meant that personal dossiers could only be accessed by relatives, thereby preventing Ganschow from any access.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"Eastern workers at ARBED, presumably in front of the \u201cM\u00f6llerei\u201d building in Belval (Ritzerow family archive)\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/03\/Kapitel-III-Ritzerow-mit-den-OStarbeiterInnen-in-Belval-Photo-5_1-16_9.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/03\/Kapitel-III-Ritzerow-mit-den-OStarbeiterInnen-in-Belval-Photo-5_1-16_9-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/03\/Kapitel-III-Ritzerow-mit-den-OStarbeiterInnen-in-Belval-Photo-5_1-16_9-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/03\/Kapitel-III-Ritzerow-mit-den-OStarbeiterInnen-in-Belval-Photo-5_1-16_9-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/03\/Kapitel-III-Ritzerow-mit-den-OStarbeiterInnen-in-Belval-Photo-5_1-16_9.jpg 1500w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 16\/9; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>            <p class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image-caption\">\n            Ostarbeiterinnen bei der ARBED, vermutlich vor dem Geba\u0308ude der \u201eMo\u0308llerei\u201c in Belval (Familienarchiv Ritzerow).        <\/p>\n    <\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Although Ganschow didn\u2019t find any witnesses still alive, she did find some of their relatives, some of which were able to provide her with photographs and other so-called \u201cego-documents\u201d. She was also given a 35-page notebook created by one of the forced labourers, Maria Talpa. \u201c<strong>She wrote how she remembered her time in Luxembourg, starting with her childhood which is very important<\/strong>,\u201d Ganschow says. The account reveals more about Holodomor, a manmade famine in Soviet Ukraine in 1932-3; the death of Talpa\u2019s siblings; mistreatment in Luxembourg and later by the Soviets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This account is, unfortunately, not unique: even upon their liberation from the NS-camps, forced labourers were not free and were moved to American Displaced Persons (DP) camps. Before the return to their home regions, these victims were interrogated again, this time by the Soviets in their filtration camps in the Soviet-occupied areas of Germany, and then again at home. For women, whose male peers of the same age were often killed in war, it wasn\u2019t as easy to start a family with their younger counterparts, so some remained single. But some came back home with the husbands they met in Luxembourg during their forced labour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to sharing these stories and research through her publication, Ganschow is hoping to get the broader public more interested in this part of Luxembourg\u2019s history, even if it\u2019s a bit \u201cinconvenient\u201d. \u201c<strong>We think a lot about how memory works and how commemorational jobs should be done\u2014as a physical monument? As a permanent or temporary exhibition? As a website with names and biographies?<\/strong>\u201d she adds. \u201c<strong>That\u2019s why the C\u00b2DH is great: they\u2019re providing the means and the tools for digital humanities, making the contribution to all formats possible<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"py-48 first:pt-0 last:pb-0 wp-block-unilux-blocks-people-list\">\n    \n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left
