In a media education residence in the Tarn, looking for subjects for reports for my students and me, I discovered the massacres of Buzet-sur-Tarn in The world et The Dispatch. A tragedy that resonates with other massacres at the end of the Second World War. If it says a lot about the will of the Nazis to kill, to annihilate, to obliterate, by shooting then burning the bodies, many mysteries remain on this disastrous August 17, 1944. As in other cases, the identification victims took a long time and, for some twenty of them, was never possible. The descendants and descendants are obviously always bruised. In the scattered archives of the town hall of Buzet-sur-Tarn, chance made us find a file stamped “confidential”, which contained new questions. Were the victims really 54? Were women killed that day? Why are all the documents on the massacre so scattered, between Toulouse, Leblanc, Buzet-sur-Tarn and Bordeaux? These questions accompanied me for several months. In my work, the historical works of Elérika Leroy and Françoise Sabatié-Clarac have been very precious to me, as have the documents kept by the families.
