Memorial to the American soldiers who died during the Normandy landings. Gallery and space with portraits of soldiers.

A duty of remembrance compels us to this place of remembrance, where we pay tribute to those who fought in the Second World War, soldiers and civilians alike, honouring the courage, intelligence and sense of sacrifice of those who lost their lives in battle. A sober, contemporary scenography enhances the beauty of the theme. Continuously screened, director Max Lewkowicz’s moving and thoughtful Letters retraces the epic story of 5 young soldiers who fell on the field of honour. A memorable visit.

Visually stunning and emotionally humbling. It is maintained with the dignity and care that those buried here deserved. If you are anywhere near here you must come here, to see the history and understand what happened and why. From young to old this place has lessons in abundance, and you cannot fail to be moved by this most special of places.

Es ist etwas ganz anderes soviele Kreuze zu sehen die je für einen Soldaten / Soldatin stehen die gestorben sind und wir als deutsche zu verantworten haben. Uns hat das sehr berührt und traurig gemacht.
So viele Menschen oft noch halbe Kinder die in diesem sinnlosen Krieg gestorben sind..
Der Friedhof liegt an einem sehr schönen Ort und ist auch irgendwie beeindruckend, doch überwiegen bei uns die gemischten Gefühle.
Wir dürfen ALLE nie vergessen was Deutschland angerichtet hat.
Danken möchten wir denn sehr netten Mitarbeiter , der uns auf dem Parkplatz angesprochen hat. Auf Grund des deutschen Nummernschildes hat er uns auf deutsch angesprochen und uns gefragt wo genau wir herkommen und ob es uns hier in Frankreich gefallen würde. Dieser nette Herr hat uns den betrübt Tag als Deutsche gerettet.. Merci und vielen Dank

It is a very surreal experience. First to see all of the men who made the ultimate sacrifice. Second to be down on the beach looking out across the channel and then back up at all of the German bunkers. You can picture what the Germans saw watching the US armada cross the channel and then see what the Americans saw looking up at the German bunkers from Omaha as they stormed the beach. I will never forget what I saw that day and how it made to feel to be an American who has served. To see veterans there was a great honor.
