Vandals have scrawled graffiti denying a Nazi massacre on a wall in the village that was the site of the mass murder of civilians in France during the second world war. The justice minister vowed on Saturday to bring those responsible to justice. Officials in Oradour-sur-Glane, near Limoges in central France, put up a tarpaulin to cover the graffiti discovered on Friday on the wall at the entrance to the Centre de la Mémoire (Center for Remembrance). The word “lie” was scrawled on the wall, along with other graffiti, according to the regional paper Le Populaire du Centre. The inscription “Village Martyr” was crossed out.

What is most shocking is that anyone could actually deny that troops from SS “Das Reich” division killed 642 villagers on 10 June 1944, herding them into barns and a church and setting the town on fire. This is such a well-documented war crime that it is beyond doubt. I can only believe it is the handiwork of an individual delinquent who wanted to create shock in the community and who has got what he wanted.
