Road sign at the entrance of the martyred village of Oradour-sur-Glane, France, where 643 innocent victims perished at the hands of soldiers of the SS Waffen Panzer das Reich division on 10 June 1944 during the Second World War (1939-45). Today, the remains of the village are a place of remembrance and self-reflection for visitors.
