Set of 10 photos of the village of Ouradour-sur-Glane (France) in the 1950s.
The original village was destroyed on 10 June 1944, when 643 of its inhabitants, including women and children, were massacred by a company of troops belonging to the 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich, a Waffen-SS unit of the military forces of Nazi Germany. A new village was built after the war on a nearby site, but on the orders of the then French president, Charles de Gaulle, the original has been maintained as a permanent memorial. The Centre de la mémoire d'Oradour museum is located beside the historic site. (from Wikipedia)
These photos are typical of the 1950s and 1960s, during which tourism progressed a lot but not all tourists were equipped with a camera. These photos were sold on the tourist sites allowing everyone to keep a souvenir of the visit.
