“REMEMBER”
A non-profit organization offering D-Day tours in Normandy and other educational events.
“REMEMBER”: Together, let’s pass on the lessons of history.
The events of the first quarter of the 20th century teach us the dangers of ignoring history’s lessons. The memory of the tragedies of the Second World War is fading, growing more distant with each passing day. Today, it has become essential to preserve the memory of these tragedies of the last century — and that is the mission “REMEMBER” has set for itself.
Sharing the past with future generations :
“REMEMBER” has developed educational programs specially designed for young people to preserve and pass on the memory of the events of the Second World War to future generations.
These programs were evaluated in spring 2024 during the 80th anniversary commemorations of D-Day with French middle and high school students from Normandy. In the near future, they will also be offered to young people from England, Germany, the United States, and beyond…..
Designed for the youth of all nationalities, these programs aim to foster a shared understanding and common perspective on history, bringing together young people from diverse cultural backgrounds and origins through the legacy of World War II.
Private tours, tailor-made for all audiences :
Building on his 30+ years of WWII research, Rodolphe Rutman has created the “D-Day Discovery Tours”, offered exclusively by “REMEMBER”.
Each program can be adapted for a variety of visitors — couples, families, or bigger groups. They will be accompanied by an expert guide, passionate about sharing the history of the Normandy landings and the broader liberation of Europe.
This kind of deeply immersive experience, with visits to key sites, personal stories, and insights, brings history to life from every perspective.
With your expectations in mind, we offer you a fully tailor-made tour.
D-Day tours in Normandy for schools :
In 2024, “REMEMBER” launched its first educational module for schools focusing on US troops landing at Omaha Beach.
Twelve additional modules on other D-Day topics will be developed and offered to school or university groups, in France and abroad. For private groups, several special D-Day tour options are already available, and those who wish can also create a fully customized program.
Producing documentary films

REMEMBER: Preserving History for Future Generations
At REMEMBER, we believe in the importance of passing on the lessons of history. The early 20th century reminds us how dangerous it is to forget the past. Today, the memory of the Second World War, especially the events surrounding D-Day, is fading with each passing year. That’s why REMEMBER is committed to preserving this legacy by offering authentic D Day tours in Normandy — designed to educate, inspire, and keep history alive for all generations.
Educational Programs Designed for Youth
Understanding history is essential for young people, which is why REMEMBER develops carefully crafted educational programs focused on the Second World War. In spring 2024, we piloted these programs during the 80th anniversary of D-Day with middle and high school students in Normandy. These programs will soon be extended to youth from England, Germany, the United States, Canada, Australia, Poland, and other nations involved in D-Day. By connecting students directly with history, we help ensure that the sacrifices and lessons of the past are never forgotten.
