Information Center
Since the mid-1990s, there has been an Information Center on the site to the Memory of the losses of Operation Overlord, when in summer 1944 more than 100.000 people died: American, British, German, French, Canadian, Poles and members of other nations. Also at least 14.000 French civilians died. Human fates and reconciliation are special themes. Visitors can also view a permanent exhibition about the German War Graves Commission and have access to a database to locate the graves of dead German military. An adjoint peace-garden with 1.200 maple-trees from gifts symbolizes that peace ought to grow.

Famous quotes containing the words information and/or center:
“We hear a great deal of lamentation these days about writers having all taken themselves to the colleges and universities where they live decorously instead of going out and getting firsthand information about life. The fact is that anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“New York is what Paris was in the twenties ... the center of the art world. And we want to be in the center. It’s the greatest place on earth.... I’ve got a lot of friends here and I even brought my own cash.”
—John Lennon (1940–1980)
