This podcast episode is about collaboration in Luxembourg during World War II. It explains how supposed former collaborators were arrested after the liberation in September 1944, why they worked together with the Nazis and gives some examples of probable motivations of convicted collaborators. Moreover, this episode illustrates why the topic of collaboration was silenced until the 1970`s in Luxembourg and why it is much discussed today. It ends up with the depiction of the handling of that topic nowadays and an example of the most recent Luxembourgish film about collaboration.
