On 10 June 1944, the idylic French village of Oradour-sur-Glane was completely destroyed and 642 innocent men, women and children were massacred by soldiers in Hitler's elite Waffen-SS army. The ruins of the martyred village have been preserved as a reminder of German barbarity.






Has anyone been there already? Are there any similar places you know about where basically the complete landscape (small village in this case) has been preserved and transformed into a memorial site?
