Robert Hébras (29 June 1925 – 11 February 2023) was one of only six people to survive the Oradour-sur-Glane massacre by Nazi Germany's Waffen-SS Das Reich Panzer Division on 10 June 1944.
He was born in Oradour-sur-Glane, the son of Jean, a tramway maintenance official and Marie, a seamstress.[1] Adolf Diekmann, the Waffen-SS officer who commanded the battalion that perpetrated the massacre, was killed in action in Normandy on 29 June 1944, coincidentally Hébras's 19th birthday.[2]
In 2014, he published a memoir, Avant que ma voix s’éteigne.[3] Hébras died on 11 February 2023, at the age of 97. He was the last living survivor from the Oradour-sur-Glane massacre.[4]
