French President Emmanuel Macron attended a memorial ceremony on Monday to mark the 80th anniversary of the Nazi massacre at the village of Oradour-sur-Glane, the site of one of the worst massacres by the Nazis in World War II. The village was destroyed by SS troops in 1944 and 642 inhabitants were killed.
Macron was joined at the ceremony by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who warned against the dangers of nationalism, a day after European elections saw advances for the far right.
