Description
View from a window in a burned out building in the village of Oradour Sur Glane in Haute-Vienne, France, where retreating German SS troops massacred over 600 innocent men, women and children. The scenic and once prosperous village had a tram that carried workers to work in the nearby city of Limoges and these citizens were the only once that survived the massacre. French President Charles DeGaulle ordered the site preserved as a memorial to man's inhumanity to man.

Your eye and your sensibilities are what make you one of my favorites. This is an example. L/F

William, your comment means a lot to me! When I visited Oradour Sur Glane, I was in total shock even so I was informed about the history - but to see it with my own eyes as a German citizen was heart breaking. Thank you very much!
