In response to French Resistance activities in the area and the D-Day landing of June 6, 1944, a German SS division arrived in the French village of Oradour-sur-Glane on June 10, 1944, and massacred 643 innocent civilians. Four hundred women and children were taken into the village church and murdered. The men were shot. Only seven people managed to escape. Following World War II, French President Charles De Gaulle ordered the village to be forever preserved and today, Oradour-sur-Glane remains as it was when the SS soldiers came in June 1944. This documentary captures the lasting impact that the atrocity had on the region and the world at large.
