I Remember... Normandy

Meer over het boek

Fifty years separate us today from the appalling turmoil in which so many young men were swallowed up. Fifty years separate us from a period marked with hatred and barbarity. Fifty years separate us from a time when the history of freedom regained was written in letters of blood and tears. Two generations have passed; the towns have re-emerged fromt he ruins,t he grass has covered over the craters left by the bombs., the pillboxes have gradually been buried int he sand. I wanted this story told by two voices for the sake of the young people of today, a story in which the glorious hours of history and the happy memories of country childhood go side by side. the one states in black and white how this region lived through the period of trials, and paid a terrible price for the advance of freedom to be restored with a few months to the whole of Europe. It tells the burden of suffering, and the joyful taste of victory.
