Omschrijving

Colleville: The American Cemetery at Normandy is more than a place—it is a promise carved into stone, grass, and silence.

 

Overlooking Omaha Beach, where the tide of history turned on June 6, 1944, the Normandy American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer stands as one of the most powerful landscapes of remembrance in the world. Row after row of white marble crosses and Stars of David stretch toward the horizon, each marking a life given for freedom.

 

In A Sacred Landscape of Memory, this book explores Colleville as both a historic site and a living memorial. Through meticulous research, evocative storytelling, and visual sensitivity, it reveals how architecture, geography, ritual, and symbolism combine to transform this cemetery into sacred ground. From the landing beaches below to the Wall of the Missing, from individual graves to collective memory, Colleville speaks across generations.

 

This book examines:

• The creation and design of the Normandy American Cemetery

• The soldiers buried there and the stories behind the names

• The symbolism of the landscape and its emotional power

• How memory, sacrifice, and national identity are preserved through place

 

Written for history enthusiasts, travelers, scholars, and anyone moved by the legacy of World War II, Colleville is both a tribute and an invitation—to remember, to reflect, and to understand the cost of liberty.

 

Some places are visited.

Others are felt.

Colleville is never forgotten.
