70th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy
welcome to all veterans
1
These beautiful and deeply moving images
of solidarity must help us guide young
generations and make them understand how
precious peace and liberty are to mankind.
I welcome you all and wish you a pleasant
stay in Caen.
70 years ago, one of the greatest battles of
the history of mankind began. For nearly
100 days, from the Landings on the
Normandy beaches on June the 6th 1944 to
the liberation of Le Havre on September the
12th, the fate of Normandy was closely linked
to that of the world.
10
For all of you, veterans or civilian witnesses,
for your children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, returning to these places of
remembrance and contemplation is
emotionally moving, sometimes difficult. On
behalf of all Caen inhabitants, may I insist
on expressing our deepest gratitude and
admiration.
Today, Normandy prepares, once again, to
attract the attention of the community of
nations, to pay a vibrant and solemn tribute
to all men and women who contributed to its
liberation, but also to celebrate the great fervour for reconciliation following the Second
World War. The American, British, Canadian,
French and German veterans, the numerous
civilians as well as their descendants, can
now celebrate peace with the same emotion.

The ice room, a two-story underground
construction built about 150 years ago,
was intended for the cold storage of
ice and food. It was also used as shelter
for the population of Caen during the
bombings of June and July 1944 and is

During the night of
the 8th to the 9th of
June, the spire of the
Saint-Pierre church was
destroyed by a shell
fired by a battleship
named Rodney.
Scriptorium City Hall
During the summer of 1944, the Abbayeaux-Hommes and Saint-Etienne abbey
church were transformed into a field
hospital. Many civilians took shelter from
the bombings in these buildings.
Nearly 3500 people lived here in early
July, and over 8000 by mid-July on the eve
of the liberation of the city’s left bank.
Thousands of Caen inhabitants lived here
for nearly 40 days with the help of the
French Red Cross teams and of the « Défense
passive », rescue organization whose aim
was to defend the civilian population
without using weapons. The City Hall –
more specifically the Lycée Malherbe at
that time – was turned into a shelter for
the civilians and a base for the « D éfense
passive ». Life had to go on, e.g. with the
nursery, cooking, care for patients…, as
artillery shells fell from time to time on
the building.

The provision of supplies
for all refugees was
extremely difficult.
However, brave
volunteers went
everyday in search of
commodities. On the
6th of July, 1500 meals
were served at the Lycée
Malherbe, while
15 000 were cooked
there on the 13th of July.
