About

The Mur des shootées is a memorial in Valréas, Vaucluse department, commemorating the murder of 53 hostages and prisoners on 12 June 1944 by the German occupier. Less known than the massacre of Oradour-sur-Glane which took place two days earlier on June 10, 1944, the massacre of Valréas marked in blood the passage of the Werhmacht in Provence.
