D-Day, Normandy and beyond

D-DAY, NORMANDY AND BEYOND QUICK MENU SELECTOR

THE BEST HIsTORical tours company

I was asked by my friends at Stephen Ambrose Historical Tours if could put up a message for them on my website. And I gladly accepted. They wrote an article about my (still) upcoming new website! So a big thank you to them for that! The late and great Mr Stephen Ambrose was determined in getting the truth about WWII out in the open, and we owe so much to the work of this man. I just got back from yet another Normandy tour myself. When I am over in Normandy I come across quite a lot of tourguides. Some are good and some not quite as good. I have experienced the men and women from SAHT myself when I was in Normandy. They have a great passion and dedication for their work! You will be taken on a mindblowing journey through history and you will see that every SAHT tourguide did their homework! And then some... So much knowledge and facts is enthusiastically shared and you learn so much. If you are thinking about going on a Historical tour, please check out their website. They have a wide range of very interesting tours such as the Band of Brothers Tour or the D-Day to the Rhine Tour to name but a few. All tours are highly recommended

A VERY SPECIAL LECTURE

My dear friend Robert (Bob) Cohen Auschwitz Birkenau and Dora-Mittelbau survivor, held his final and last impressive lecture on May 10th in Delft, The Netherlands. For the last 16 years Bob gave hundreds of lectures to students and to those interested! Bob has a book about his ordeals during the Holocaust. I would encourage all to read it. The book is in Dutch, but for any information please contact me by clicking the button here below. On the picture Bob shows his tattoo given to him in Auschwitz.
