On June 10, 1944, SS troops surrounded the French village of Oradour-sur-Glane, separating men from women and children; 452 men were machine-gunned in barns while 190 women and children were locked in the church, which was then set ablaze, resulting in 642 deaths. Following liberation, French authorities made the unprecedented decision to leave the village exactly as it was found, preserving the burned-out cars, melted church bells, and charred remains as a permanent memorial to humanity's darkest impulses and the consequences of unchecked violence.
