Produktbeschreibungen

Amazon.com

"Four days after the Allied landings in Normandy, SS troops encircled the town of Oradour in the rolling farm country of the Limousin and rounded up its inhabitants. In the marketplace they divided the men from the women and children. The men were marched off to barns nearby and shot. The soldiers locked the women and children in the church, shot them, and set the building (and the rest of the town) on fire. Those residents of Oradour who had been away for the day, or had managed to escape the roundup, returned to a blackened scene of horror, carnage, and devastation."

University of Iowa history professor Sarah Farmer's Martyred Village is not, however, a book about that massacre, but about how the French people have chosen to remember it in the years since. How did the massacre at Oradour become a symbol for the French experience at the hands of the occupying German forces? What went into the decision to create no monument to the dead but to allow the ruined husk of a village to remain as permanent testimony to what happened? And what do visitors to those ruins experience when they go there today? How have the residents of the "new town," adjacent to the scene, dealt with their position? These are some of the questions that Farmer addresses in her precise examination of the relationship between individual remembrances and the collective commemorations of history. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

Pressestimmen

"Sarah Farmer has written an engrossing account of one town's place in France's national memory that illuminates the bitter post-war debates over justice and collaboration."--"The Economist

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Sarah Farmer deserves high praise for the clear narration and helpful explanations throughout "Martyred Village." Other historians ought emulate her writing. She first describes the slaughter of 10 June 1944, SS troops killing the civilians of Oradour. She then places it in the context of 20th century France. Only nine months after the massacre, Charles de Gaulle solemnly visits the ruins. Quickly, Oradour becomes a site of pilgrimage. Disruption comes in 1953, when twenty-one soldiers of the SS are brought to trial in Bordeaux. Fourteen are Frenchmen from Alsace, thirteen conscripted by the Germans. Upon their conviction in court, the Alsatians were freed by amnesty granted by the National Assembly, yielding to protests from Strasbourg. The author's account continues to 1997. I appreciate the author's use of French and German names, ranks, and expressions. She clarifies the roles of the political parties. She treats well the topics of mourning, respect, memory, pilgrimage, and religion. As someone interested in electric transit, I hope someday to learn more of the rural tram from Limoges through Oradour, whatever its corporate name.

interesting and dramatic 8. Juni 2001
Von patrick butler - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
sarah farmer has brought about the first difinitive book based on the martyred village. instead on focusing on the rather well known facts of the horrific massmacre, she gives great insight and back ground to the events leading up and following the massacre. as well as giving a personal insight to it, using her own photography, she gives a great narrative and all round factually based book which gives alot of hard to get material. for those who have visited the site or simply an enthusiast, you need not look further than this compelling, easy to read book.

Why Oradour -sur-Glane became the choice for national commemoration 20. Oktober 2011
Von Rich in NYC - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Some reviewers may have missed the point here. As stated quite clearly in the introduction the book answers the question "how and why ,in the aftermath of the war, did this particular story emerge from the myriad possible stories that could be told". That question and many others are answered with great acumen. It is not a book about the specific events that took place on June 10' 1944, and it is not meant to be. There are several other very good books on the specific brutality of that day. The depth of research is evidenced in over sixty seven pages of notes, photographs and other material. The babbling/filler comment lacks any merit at all as this is a great read for anyone who is interested in the subject as outlined in the introduction. This book will enhance your understanding of a very interesting topic.
Very deeply researched!
