Military cemeteries of the battle of Normandy
Majestic or intimate, high places of remembrance tourism or hidden in a small corner of the countryside, the military cemeteries of the Battle of Normandy are places charged with emotion that invite us to reflect on the war and the sacrifice of a youth. Beyond the description of the cemeteries, their organization and their architectural symbolism, this book will make you perceive the issues of memories carried by each of these places of remembrance.
