This
day,
this
museum,
this
place,
everything
touched
me.
Just
two
generations
ago,
my
grandparents'
generation
were
shooting
at
each
other.
One
of
my
grandfathers
didn't
come
back
from
the
war.
As
a
German,
I
am
grateful
that
women
and
men
from
other
countries
gave
their
lives
to
liberate
Europe
and
ultimately
Germany.
So
that
we
all,
including
my
children
and
I,
can
grow
up
in
a
democracy.
This
museum
commemorates
the
people
who
risked
their
lives
and
lost
them
often
enough.
The
implementation
of
this
difficult
task
of
honoring
these
people
without
glorifying
the
war
has
been
uniquely
achieved
in
this
museum.
I
visited
a
few
D-Day
museums
in
Normandy,
and
I
liked
this
one
the
most
because
of
its
sensitive
and
careful
nature.
And,
although
I
delved
into
this
topic
as
a
hobby
historian,
I
was
still
able
to
learn
a
lot
of
new
things,
also
because
I
was
never
introduced
to
the
Canadian
perspective
on
things.
Many
thanks
to
this
great
concept
and
the
people
who
stand
behind
it
and
work
for
it.
At
the
end
of
the
tour,
both
my
children
and
I
were
left
with
heavy
hearts
because
of
the
historical
responsibility
that
our
grandparents'
generation
had
burdened
us
with
their
crimes
and
mistakes.
A
visit
to
Juno
Beach,
which
seems
peaceful
and
idyllic
today,
cheered
the
soul
afterwards
back
up.
We
then
talked
a
lot
in
the
family
about
politics,
war,
and
what
people
are
capable
of,
and
that
was
the
best
thing
of
all.
Many
thanks
to
this
institution
for
triggering
this
input.
