The aim of the “Deemools” contemporary witness portal of the Öewersauer Nature Park is to compile a treasure trove of memories with stories from contemporary witnesses about everyday experiences in Luxembourg’s history. A wide range of different topics are covered: the Second World War, the dam in Esch-sur-Sûre, Dutch immigration in the 1950s, crafts, traditions and customs. The recorded conversations with older people who are personally affected by the subject matter are considered intangible cultural heritage: the collective memory of the region (oral history). “Deemools” aims to valorise past experiences, preserve them for future generations and make them available to the public.
