Vandals desecrated a sacred memorial to the victims of the deadliest Earth War II massacre in Nazi-occupied France.
The vandalism to the memorial at Oradour-sur-Glane in central France still left the place outraged.
On June 10, 1944, an SS armored division herded villagers into barns and a church, and set them ablaze, killing 642 persons. Only 6 survived.
The vandals painted the memorial with graffiti calling the killings a lie, in accordance to reviews.

“Shame on those people who did this,” Justice Minister Eric Dupond-Moretti tweeted. “All will be completed to uncover and judge people who fully commited these sacrilegious functions.”
Far-ideal chief Marine Le Pen tweeted, “It’s time for after and for all … to quit the recurrence of these functions that damage us all.”
Even though a new village has been built, the ruins of the previous town have been cared for as a reminder of Nazi horrors.

The massacre occurred 4 days after the Allied D-Working day landings in Normandy. The killings had been considered to have been requested in retaliation for the kidnapping of a German soldier by the French Resistance.
