点评:What an amazing time we had! Olivier has the best of what is needed to bring to life the events as they unfolded on June 6th 1944. His extensive knowledge delivered with passion and feeling, his attention to not only the main events but the background details, and his personal accounts of talking with some of the veterans before their own first-hand testimonies vanish, really brought to life the enormity of what so many gave their lives for. I started the tour with quite a wide knowledge of what happened on that day over 80 years ago, but I ended the tour with a much more profound grasp of the shocking sacrifice of thousands, and what they fought for. Being privileged enough to stand there from this distance in time made me feel such gratitude and a desire to honour the lives of these men that I had never known or even heard of.
Olivier brought their deaths to life and helped us see clearly what is owed by us all.
翻译:我们度过了多么美好的时光!奥利维尔拥有将1944年6月6日发生的事件重现于世的最佳能力。他渊博的知识,饱含激情与感触,不仅关注主要事件,也关注背景细节,他还亲自与一些老兵交谈,在这些老兵的亲身经历逐渐消逝之前,这些都让我们真切地感受到了无数人为之献出生命的伟大意义。在参观之前,我对80多年前的那一天已经有所了解,但参观结束后,我对成千上万人的惨痛牺牲以及他们为之奋斗的目标有了更深刻的理解。能够从这个时间点站在那个地方,让我感到无比的感激,也让我更加渴望去缅怀这些我从未谋面甚至从未听说过的英烈。
奥利维尔让他们的牺牲鲜活地呈现在我们眼前,也让我们清晰地认识到我们所有人肩负的责任。
