Oradour-sur-Glane is a town and commune in the Haute-Vienne département, Limousin région of west-central France. The original village was destroyed on June 10, 1944, when 642 of its inhabitants were murdered by a German Waffen-SS company.

A report as to what happened at Oradour, is best described by Adolf Otto Diekmann, commander of I./SS-Panzergrenadierregiment ‘Der Führer’ part of the SS-Panzerdivision Das Reich ,the perpetrator of the massacre. The following is his personnal report, presented at 17:30, at the regimental headquarters in Limoges. It is drawn from ‘Comrades to the End’ by Weidinger.

June 10, 1944

"The Company had encountered resistance in Oradour, the bodies of executed German soldiers were found. It then occupied the village and immediately conducted an intensive search of the houses. Unfortunately this failed to turn up Kämpfe, however large quantities of weapons and ammunition were found. Therefore all the men of the village were shot, who were surely Maquisards.

The women and children were locked up in the church while all this was going on. Then the village was set on fire, as a result of which the ammunition that was stored in almost every house went up. The burning of the village resulted in fire spreading to the church, where ammunition had also been hidden in the roof. The church burned down very rapidly and the women and children lost their lives.”

4 septembre 2013 - le Président de la République François Hollande se rend à Oradour-sur-Glane avec le Président de la République fédérale d’Allemagne Joachim Gauck.

"Vous êtes la dignité de l’Allemagne d’aujourd’hui, capable de regarder en face la barbarie nazie d’hier. Aujourd’hui, votre visite confirme que l’amitié entre nos deux pays est un défi à l’histoire et un exemple pour le monde entier. Et sa force s’illustre en cet instant même à Oradour-sur-Glane.

Public notice on the disposal of corpses during the Great Plague in Marseille, France, 1720
The Great Plague of Marseille was the last of the significant European outbreaks of bubonic plague. Arriving in Marseille, France in 1720, the disease killed 100,000 people in the city and the surrounding provinces. However, Marseille recovered quickly from the plague outbreak. Economic activity took only a few years to recover, as trade expanded to the West Indies and Latin America. By 1765, the growing population was back at its pre-1720 level.
