It will form a link with the Reporters' Memorial which will be near the Museum. Around ten separate panels will pay tribute to a whole generation of exceptional men who risked their lives to be witnesses to the major conflicts of the 20th century. Each panel will be devoted to a period or to a man who has set a particular stamp on his time. Among them are some of the great names of photography or the audiovisual world, such as Kowal or Pierre Schoendorffer.At the Battle of Normandy Memorial Museum
