Victims names of all those killed at Oradour

(an alphabetical list of all those killed at Oradour-sur-Glane on Saturday 10th June1944)

   After the massacre on Saturday 10th June 1944, the French authorities put a considerable amount of effort into determining the names of all the victims and subsequently the results have been published and amended over the years as new evidence has come to light. The first attempt at quantifying how many people died in the attack, yielded a low figure of 585 and this has gradually increased to 642, which has, for some years been the accepted (and widely published) figure. Since December 2019 one more name has been added to the list, that of: Ramona Dominguez-Gil, a Spanish lady, who originally came from Mianos near Zaragoza and was 73 at the time of 10th June 1944. For reasons which are not clear, she was omitted from the original list of names and was only added in 2019.

   The full list of all 643 victims names is shown below and follows the same layout as the memorial tablets in the cemetery. This link will take you to photographs of the memorial tablets in the cemetery which now list 643 names (including Mme Dominguez-Gil). Where different sources show different spellings and ages, the version displayed on the memorial tablets has been taken as correct and is shown below. The addition of "DC" after the name indicates that the body has been formally identified and a Death Certificate has been issued. The number of formally identified victims is just 52 out of a total of 643 and this relatively small proportion, is due to the effect of the fires making formal identification impossible by the standards of the 1940's. It is unfortunate that there are differences between sources as to names, ages and dates, but under the circumstances, this is not too surprising.

   The list of names shown below is a work in progress and will be added to and amended, as information becomes available; see the foot of this page for the date of the most recent update.

    "DC" means a Death Certificate has been issued, no "DC" means that the person has officially been declared missing in Oradour.

   "A" means the person came from Alsace.

   "J" means that the person was of the Jewish faith.

   The following sources have been used to compile the list of victims names: 1) The memorial tablets in the cemetery. 2) "Oradour-sur-Glane a vision of horror", 2003 edition. 3) "The Slaughter of our village" (by Robert Hébras and André Desourteaux). See the Bibliography for more details of the various source materials. There are differences between these sources as to spelling of names, ages of individuals and inclusion (or not) of names. The Centre de la Mémoire is the place to query any particular entry if the matter is important to you the reader. I suggest you enquire in French, using the enquiry form on the official Centre de la Mémoire website. I will continue to update the list below as information comes to light in the future and I welcome any data passed on to me by readers of this website.
