9/11 Exhibit Opens in D-Day Museum in Normandy

Teresa Neumann : Jun 6, 2008  Staff - AFP

"I hope visitors will think about September 11 differently, maybe have a clearer idea, in terms of the scale, in terms of how the day unfolded, who did it, who was killed and who was affected."

A Global Moment(Caen, France)—"September 11: A Global Moment" is an exhibit set to open this week at the WW II history museum in Normandy, France. Whereas the museum has, to date, commemorated the D-Day liberation of France by Allied troops, the new exhibit is indicative of the huge impact 9/11 had on the entire world. (AFP/File Photo:)

"We thought it would be the perfect place to tell the story of a different kind of war," said Mark Schaming, the director of exhibitions and programs at the New York State Museum, home to the exhibit's artifacts.

According to an AFP report, items to be displayed include a crushed police jeep, pieces of fuselage from the hijacked planes and twisted sheathing of the World Trade Center towers.

The Caen museum director, Stephane Grimaldi, was quoted as saying the exhibit presented the "European point of view" about 9/11. "The Americans are still in mourning. That changes everything," said Grimaldi. "We are able to have more distance but at the same time, we Europeans know what war is all about."

Notes the article: "A section of the exhibit on the world response features a headline from Le Monde newspaper proclaiming: "Nous sommes tous des Americains" (We are all Americans), epitomizing European solidarity with a traumatized United States."
