    An attached information board reads:

    Christmas 1944 - Bombing December 23, 24 and 25
    In this shelter 300 Malmedians, victims of the tragic events in our city, found shelter for several weeks in miserable conditions.

    On December 23, 24 and 25, 1944, Malmedy was bombed by the US Army - although the city was in American hands. More than 250 people died.
    More than 200 citizens from Malmedy alone fell victim to the bombing, as well as dozens more who had been evacuated to Malmedy from neighboring towns.
