The Singer Sewing machine

An old treadle sewing machine with an iron pot behind it. This type of sewing machine was operated by a foot pedal and did not require electricity. Nothing shows the innocence of the Oradour-sur-Glane women more than the many sewing machines found among the ruins; the women were spending their time in domestic pursuits and had no interest in the war going on all around them.
