Le Silence et la douleur (2016)
Directed by Patrick Séraudie

Film Synopsis

9th June 1944 was a dark day for the French town of Tulle.  It was on this day that 99 men were hung from balconies and 149 others were deported by the second division of the SS Das Reich.  The day after, the same division would commit an even greater atrocity on their way east, massacring practically the entire population of the village of Oradour-sur-Glane - 642 men, women and children.  The filmmaker Patrick Séraudie returns to Tulle on this sombre anniversary and finds that the town still carries the terrible memory of that awful day in June 1944.  He interviews those who witnessed the executions and representatives of the generations that followed, perhaps in the hope of helping to exorcise the horror and the pain that still hangs over the town...
