The crumbling ruins of Oradour-sur-Glane (above) are a somber reminder of one of the worst atrocities committed in France during World Warup the entire population of the village, located about 15 miles from Limoges in Vichy France, and herded the men into barns and the women and children into a church. The SS then set fire to the barns and threw hand grenades into the church, shooting anyone who tried to escape. In all, 643 men, women, and children were murdered.
