Book Synopsis Martyred Village by : Sarah Bennett Farmer
Book excerpt: In this first full-scale study of the destruction and commemoration of Oradour over the half century since the war, Sarah Farmer investigates the prominence of the massacre in the French understanding of their experience under German domination. Complemented by haunting photographs of the site, Farmer's eloquent dissection of France's national memory addresses the personal and private ways in which, through remembrance, people try to come to terms with enormous loss.
