Summary
This episode recounts the history of the martyred village of Oradour-sur-Glane near Limoges. What happened? Do we know why?
We like to think things like that can never happen again because the Second World War is far behind us now. But it's never a given and there are senseless massacres going on today still. Let's talk about it and why parents and leaders should never teach hate #joinusinfrance #WW2 #podcast
This episode features my frequent guest Elyse Rivin. You can book a tour with her through her website and you can also support her on Patreon.
