Oradour-sur-Glane is the village where 642 men, women and children were murdered by the Nazis on 10 June 1944.
To this day there is no universally accepted explanation for the massacre ...
Sadly, the existence of this village didn't do what was intended. It hasn't stopped other genocides from taking place. The Srebrenica massacre was all but televised, in terms of the world's awareness of events, and no one stopped the murder of more than 8000 Bosniak men and boys in July 1995 ...
And Srebrenica is just one of many since 1944.
I left New Zealand mid-2003, bound for Istanbul and a new lif. After two years, a Belgian guy lured me into his world, deep in the heart of Europe. For a long time I was an in-process immigrant. One day we married. These days it's about photography, a little red wine and wandering ... and so the journey goes.
