Today, we’re returning to Chicago, to continue our study of the impact of Luxembourg’s emigrants to the United States.

We’ll be looking in depth at the lives of four individuals of Luxembourgish descent: a police officer, a rabbi, a tennis player, and the man behind US Flag Day.

Today, in keeping with last week's theme of emigration from the Grand Duchy, we're focusing on the lives of arguably the most famous Luxembourg-American, Edward Steichen, and the contrasting destinies of two Marys of Luxembourgish descent.

Today, we’re exploring a new theme, focusing on the history of Luxembourgish emigration.

We’ll look at why in the 19th century, Luxembourgers left the Grand Duchy in great numbers; how their expeditions to South America largely failed; and how many did eventually come to settle in the United States, creating a Luxembourg-American community which exists to this day.

Today on the Luxembourg History Podcast, we’re looking at Luxembourg and the French Revolution.

We'll cover the Siege of Luxembourg by French revolutionary forces, life and rebellion under the French occupation, and the impact of Napoleon's endless wars.

Today, we’re concluding our look at Luxembourg and the Second World War.

We’ll look at how Luxembourg was liberated, zoom in on the events of Liberation Day in the outskirts of the capital, and hear how parts of Luxembourg were re-occupied by the Nazis during the Battle of the Bulge.

This week, we’re looking into the Nazi occupation of Luxembourg, from May 1940 to September 1944.

We’ll talk about the absorption of Luxembourg into the German Reich, collaboration and resistance, the deportation of the Jews, and the darkest day in Luxembourg’s history.

This week's episode covers how Grand Duchess Charlotte became an icon of resistance in the wake of the German invasion in 1940, how her son Jean was present at the liberation of Luxembourg, and we’ll also delve into the tragic story of Charlotte’s sisters, one of whom would end up in a Nazi concentration camp.

This week, we'll be following on from our second episode on Luxembourg during the First World War, looking at the abdication crisis of 1918-19.

Luxembourg was actually the first country to be invaded by Germany in 1914, although things didn’t exactly go to plan for the Germans.

The first episode of Luxembourg History podcast goes all the way back to the birth of Luxembourg as the world's only remaining Grand Duchy.
