“ Oradour-sur-Glane: The Village Frozen in Tragedy ” 🫶

Welcome back to Life On Our Map.
Today, we take you with us to one of the most powerful and emotional places we have ever visited — Oradour-sur-Glane, the “Village of the Martyrs” in central France.

This quiet village has been left exactly as it was on June 10th, 1944, after the tragic massacre that took the lives of 643 innocent people. Walking through the untouched ruins is like stepping into a moment frozen in time. As a family, this visit was incredibly moving, and we felt a deep responsibility to share what we saw and learned.

In this video, we explore:

The burnt-out car that has become a symbol of the village

The church and its heartbreaking history

The destroyed homes, shops, and everyday objects left behind

The overwhelming silence that fills the streets

Our personal reflections as parents showing our children the importance of remembrance

Visiting Oradour-sur-Glane isn’t about sightseeing — it’s about paying respect. It’s about understanding what happened here and carrying those lessons forward. We hope that by sharing our journey, more people will learn about this village and the stories it still holds.
