The Cimetière national de Cernay is a serene French military cemetery dating from 1920, where more than 2,700 soldiers who fell during the bloody battles around Vieil-Armand and Steinbach in 1914 rest. Until 1936, the site became a memorial site for the fallen from temporary frontline cemeteries in Alsace, and in 1932 it also received the bodies of Czech soldiers from other regions. A silent witness to the First World War, in the middle of the green landscape of the Vosges.

Impressive and oppressive at the same time. One just wonders why humanity doesn't learn from this...
