D-Day Tours in Normandy with Rodolphe Rutman
At the helm of Remember is Rodolphe Rutman, a historian, filmmaker, and second-generation documentary maker dedicated to preserving the memory of World War II.
A Legacy of History and Storytelling
Coming from a family of documentary pioneers dating back to 1959, Rodolphe has spent his life sharing powerful stories of World War II, social history, and cultural legacy. After a career in photography and journalism, he joined his father, Jacques Rutman, in 2002 to create internationally broadcast WWII documentaries.
Rodolphe has directed four acclaimed films about D-Day — Our Father, This Hero, Big Red Omaha, Crossed Destinies, and The Long Sobs of the Violins of Autumn. Each film brings a deeply personal perspective to the Normandy landings, the resistance movements, and the lasting impact of the conflict.
A Historian Shaped by Experience
Rodolphe’s connection to Normandy began during the 50th anniversary of D-Day in 1994, when he assisted American veteran paratroopers performing a commemorative jump over Amfreville. Since then, he has interviewed more than 200 witnesses of the events of summer 1944, including 13 American veterans who landed on Omaha Beach.
Immersive D-Day Tours in Normandy
Today, living in Normandy, Rodolphe leads immersive D-Day tours in Normandy that go far beyond traditional sightseeing. Visitors are guided through landing beaches, battlefields, and memorial sites, enriched by Rodolphe’s rare insights, eyewitness accounts, and deep historical knowledge.
Unlike standard excursions, his D-Day tours in Normandy blend the perspective of a historian with the eye of a filmmaker, bringing the landscapes of 1944 to life in a way that is both moving and unforgettable.
Beyond World War II
Rodolphe’s passion for history also extends to Napoleon’s First Empire, explored in his acclaimed works Journey to the End of the Empire and Grand Army. His storytelling reveals how the past continues to shape our present.
