• 45.9319441.0316671 Oradour-sur-Glane – a ghost village preserved for posterity as macabre reminder of when humanity fails. In June 1944, a squad of German soldiers razed the village to the ground, and murdered 642 men, women and children (almost the entire population), for no apparent reason other than they could. To this day, the "martyr village" remains abandoned, and is a national memorial and museum.
