This article gives an overview (with illustrations) of the history of steel factory "Metzeschmelz" founded in 1871 (renamed Arbed Esch in 1911 and ArcelorMittal Esch-Schifflange in 2007).

The attacks suffered by France in January and November 2015, and then in the course of 2016, especially the Nice attack, provoked intense online activity both during the events and in the months that followed. The digital traces left by this reactivity and reactions to events gave rise, from the very first days and even hours after the attacks, to a ‘real-time’ institutional archiving by the National Library of France (Bibliothèque nationale de France, BnF) and the National Audio-visual Institute (Institut national de l’audiovisuel, Ina).

The interview treats two main topics: 1. the interdisciplinary student project between Universities of Luxembourg and University of Tambov, Russia, dedicated to the Luxembourgish-Russian crossroads of history and 2. the meaning of the city of Tambov in the contemporary history of Luxembourg, connected to the Luxembourger forcibly recruited soldiers in the soviet captivity.
