Memorial Massacre of Oradour-sur-Glane

This Memorial, at the cemetery, has been erected in memory of the fallen from the Oradour-sur-Glane massacre of 10 June 1944.

At the Cemetery Oradour-sur-Glane are many memorials on the graves of the family who were murdered on 10-06-1944.

A plaque at the memorial commemorates twelve Jewish refugees who stayed in Oradour-sur-Glane during World War II and became victim of the Nazi barbarity.
