Especially as we studied the massacre, as part of our First and Second World War projects, at school. And as is the way with these things, only a few nights ago I watched a film I haven't seen for some time, the brilliant yet harrowing Come and See by Elem Klimov. It covers similar ground in parts and is a profoundly haunting and pertinent celluloid tour de force. Incredible that this was purchased via ebay. Never really considered looking there for old footage. Must check it out. Once again Lost in Light deepen the experience. Have always intended to visit Oradour-sur-Glane.
