Synopsis
The documentary Luxembourg 1940: the Hoiningen Enigma immerses viewers in a fascinating historical investigation led by Claude Marx, former President of the Israelite Consistory. The nonagenarian, who was himself a hidden child during the war, explores the ambiguous actions of German Baron Franz von Hoiningen during the Nazi occupation of Luxembourg. This controversial figure, torn between his membership in anti-Semitic organisations and his apparent support for Luxembourg jews, lies at the heart of this complex and nuanced narrative.
