I've never even heard of the massacre, during the WWII, maybe on sometimes ago on TV, but it didn't…read morereally sink in. . . . when the Germans try to take over French. Visiting this country, visiting this village, this once quiet, small village somewhere in the south of France, visiting this memorial massacre site, MADE ME fully understand it all. There are books and movies made about this massacre, but it's not complete until you've been here. It's not complete until you've read the books, and there's a 2007 book that I recommend called Oradour-The Final Verdict: The Anatomy and Aftermath of a Massacre by Douglas W. Hawes. Oradour-sur-Glane is today called a "martyr village;" the ruins have been preserved as a symbol of German barbarity, according to the Official Publication. 642 innocent men, women and children were brutally murdered for no reason at all and the whole town was destroyed by Waffen-SS soldiers in Hitler's elite army.

Leider heutzutage gehen die Massenmorde von Unschuldigem überall in der Welt weiter.

This fabulously hidden little enclave is a small square, lined with 17th century buildings which…read morewere once inns and grand houses. Some of them have the open balconies in Italian Renaissance style, although most of the buildings are in the half-timbering common in Limoges. It now contains shops and a restaurant, although the whole ensemble could do with some restoration. Still worth a look, though.
