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:
“Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“The greatest part of each day, each year, each lifetime is made up of small, seemingly insignificant moments. Those moments may be cooking dinner...relaxing on the porch with your own thoughts after the kids are in bed, playing catch with a child before dinner, speaking out against a distasteful joke, driving to the recycling center with a week’s newspapers. But they are not insignificant, especially when these moments are models for kids.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
