Merry Christmas Ho Chi Minh City DAY4 History and Culture Part 2

🐷Dad continued to introduce the War Museum In the war photo exhibition room, from the battlefields raging in flames, villages razed to the ground by bombs to the mutilated bodies of refugees, they all seem even more unbearable because they are too real. The refugees' begging, frightened and desperate expressions in the photos, coupled with the narrations of the photographers and witnesses, each scene touches the emotions of the viewers. Some people frowned, some had tears in their eyes, and regardless of religion, skin color and race, they all seemed to be offering the deepest condolences for the victims in their hearts. Another exhibition room in the museum mainly displays deformed people affected by the chemical weapon "Agent Orange (also known as defoliant)" used by the US military during the Vietnam War. The shocking real photos are both shocking and heartbreaking. According to museum records, 4.8 million Vietnamese were exposed to Agent Orange at the time, of which 3 million became victims of chemical weapons. These toxic substances caused serious damage to their bodies from organs to skin, and the sequelae caused by them are still continuing to this day. In addition to historical photos, the museum also displays heavy military weapons and gas masks used in the war at that time. These objects that witnessed and experienced the tragedy lie quietly in the window, but they make people feel terrified. Outside the museum, there are tanks, helicopters and war vehicles. Some tourists who have not yet visited the museum took photos with smiles on their faces, while those who walked out of the museum had serious expressions on their faces. This change in mood was like a "stun bomb" dropped by the War Remnants Museum on the visitors, telling Vietnam's most painful historical scars in the most peaceful way. Conclusion 😢 The predecessor of the War Museum was the "Museum of American War Crimes". It was later renamed to its current name after Vietnam and the United States resumed diplomatic relations. This museum was established to warn the world about the cruelty and harm caused by war. Many heavy weapons from the Vietnam War, such as artillery shells, tanks, etc., are placed in the atrium of the museum, just like a real battlefield. The exhibition hall displays the chemical weapons used by the US military during the Vietnam War and explains in detail the Agent Orange chemical program to describe the damage caused by the war to the local people. The photos of deformed people and torture are horrifying. At the other end of the exhibition venue is the detention center, which exhibits a supine guillotine, which is said to be not a replica and is very impressive. Thank you for your appreciation #Vietnam #Overseas Travel #Ho Chi Minh City
