National Strike Monument - In memory of the victims of the general strike
A monument in the shape of a lighthouse commemorates the victims of the general strike during the Second World War in Wiltz.
After the introduction of forced conscription in August 1942, a general strike against the occupiers started in Wiltz. The strike movement quickly spread throughout the country, which the occupiers responded to with brutal violence. 21 people from Luxembourg were executed.
