On 10 June, 1944, a troop of Waffen-SS slaughtered 643 inhabitants of the village of Oradour-sur-Glane in south-west France, before setting it ablaze to erase all trace. An exhibit of victims' family heirlooms at once shows the extent of France's biggest WWII civilian massacre and breathes life into those who perished.
Since the death of the last survivor Robert Hébras last year, there are no more eyewitnesses to recount the tragedy of the Oradour massacre. But the objects on show at the village's Memorial Centre each have their own story to tell.
