During our short break in June in the Corrèze region in France we visited the martyr village of Oradour-sur-Glâne. Martyr village as this once bustling village was massacred and burnt down by the German SS in June 1944. It was impressive to walk through the streets, between the burnt houses, looking through the open doors and windows and to imagine how the last hours of its inhabitants must have been.
I wanted to convey some of the oppression and dreadfulness with the images we took here. The low viewpoint and the hash contrast with which the pictures were converted in black & white conversion as well as adding grain in post-processing (all with Capture NX2 with CEP3) eliminate all that remembers of the nice summer weather - and make the images to an outcry against barbarity.
