Oradour sur Glane

 Since the pandemic basically prevented us from traveling to the U.S. this summer, we took a vacation in France instead. We spent a week at the beach in south of France.

On our way down, we did some "dark tourism." We visited Oradour-sur-Glane, a French village whose inhabitants were massacred by an SS unit June 10, 1944. 642 people were killed. There were few survivors, and the village was also destroyed.  The ruins remain as a memorial.
