A few
photos from our visit to Oradour-sur-Glane
This is
the Limousin village which was destroyed by the SS on the 10th June 1944. 642
men, women and children were slaughtered. The village has been left untouched
since that time, a war memorial in its own right. A new village was built on the
outskirts of the old. If you find yourself near Limoges take the N141 north west
for about 10 k, then the D9 for 9k, then step back in time.
If you
would like to know more about Oradour there is an excellent, informative site
(with further links) run by
Michael Williams.
