In Caen, the events of the summer of 1944 began in the afternoon of June 6 with bombings in the city centre. For the caennais, this is the beginning of a deadly chaos that will have to last 40 days! The Abbey-aux-Hommes is transformed into a sanitary island. More than 8,000 people, fleeing the bombing, will take refuge there …. This guided tour, punctuated by theatrical interludes by the Auloffée company, describes and illustrates how thousands of civilians: men, women and children, all waiting for liberation, demonstrated exemplary courage and organization to survive the Battle of Caen. A visit based on photographs, texts and audio and video testimonies.
