Oradour Sur Glane

French village massacred on the 10th of June 1944 in an unprovoked attack by the Nazi's resulting in the brutal murder of 624 Men, Women and Children.The village was then looted and set alight. A handful of villagers escaped and the village has been left in a ruined state as a memorial to those who died and to ensure they are never forgotten.A new village of the same name has been constructed beside the ruins and although life carries on normally in the new village the feeling of eerieness in the old village is still present but not unique to me as I have come across that feeling once before at Auschwitz.
