I agree. Have been to Oradour and also stopped at several WW1 cemeteries when travelling in Northern France. Remember one where the road goes right through the middle and [nearly] every driver slows to a crawl as they go through it. However -and this isn't a go at the original poster - seems that there's a section of society that thinks it's good for people - children especially - to be confronted by these horrific images [Auschwitz] etc. Personally if I were a 16yr old I'd rather go skiing...
