The 59th Anniversary of
The Tragedy at Oradour -Sur- Glane
June 10, 1944
Oradour, France
"Souviens -Toi"
Sad but something to always remember. On June 10, 1944, 4 days after the Germans were defeated at Normandy. Out of Pure Rage Hitler and his Nazi's marched to Oradour -Sur- Glane, a small town in France and Killed 642 Men, Women and Children,while blowing up the town.
I had the opportunity to visit there in 02'
and while there we talked with a woman who was there the day it
happened. She and her brother were hiding in the bushes and saw their
parents killed. I seriously felt like some had dumped a ice cold bucket
of water over me head. A moment I will always remember. As I was leaving
I saw a photo of a little girl and boy and underneath it it said:
"SOUVIENS-TOI" Always remember
