Names of the victims from Alsace
This memorial is to the 9 refugees from Schiltigheim, a suburb of Strasbourg in the province of Alsace, who died on the 10th of June 1944 in Oradour-sur-Glane. The slab is mounted to the left of the main memorial slabs carrying the list of 642 victims names. It seems to have been installed during 2007 as it was not present in early November 2006. Joseph Bergmann was the man who told Marcel Darthout, whilst they were waiting in the Laudy barn, that the Germans were going to kill them all (see Chapter 2 of In a Ruined State). See also the memorial to those from Charly-Oradour.
