Jersey War Tunnels
St Lawrence, Jersey
Jersey War Tunnels is a permanent reminder of the German Occupation of Jersey, which
lasted almost five years until the island's liberation on 9th May 1945. The tunnel
complex, formerly known as Höhlgangsanlage 8 (Ho8), now plays host to a series of
galleries detailing Occupation history through the diverse experiences of those
who lived through it.
Visitors will be led through the events of evacuation, deportation, captivity and
siege, to eventual liberation. The tunnel complex of Ho8, which took almost three
and a half years to build, was excavated by slave labourers from all over Europe,
some of whom died from the terrible hardship they were made to endure.
In addition to the main 'Captive Island' exhibition, Jersey War Tunnels is home
to the Garden of Reflection, War Trail, Visitor Centre, Research Centre, Shop and
Cafe. The latest addition to the tunnels is a sculpture by internationally renowned
artist, Paul de Monchaux. Entitled 'Silence' it has been commissioned to commemorate
the suffering endured by forced and slave labourers who worked on the construction
of the Ho8 complex.
