Oradour-sur-Glane cemetery, Memorial cemetery and historical monument in Oradour-sur-Glane, France.
The cemetery contains individual memorials and commemorative walls displaying the names of 643 civilians who perished in the village during World War II.
On June 10, 1944, German Waffen-SS soldiers executed the entire population of Oradour-sur-Glane, including 247 women and 205 children in the village church.
The site maintains the original ruins and structures as directed by Charles de Gaulle to serve as a permanent memorial of wartime atrocities.
The Centre de la Mémoire provides detailed information about the events through exhibits, photographs, and personal artifacts recovered from the massacre site.
The cemetery stands adjacent to the preserved ruins where abandoned vehicles, bullet-marked walls, and burned buildings remain exactly as they were in 1944.
