100 Son My massacre artefacts recovered

The objects and items are the remnants of the daily lives of Son My residents left in the wake of the 1968 massacre, in which 504 villagers were brutally slaughtered by American soldiers.

Ms Cao Thi Hong Hanh, director of the management board of Son My Relic Site (or My Lai Relic Site) said that the site has so far preserved 1,400 artefacts related to the Son My massacre, of which, 400 items and photos are on public display.

"Visitors will have the opportunity to view the collection of items from the massacre at the relic site and learn more about the daily life of Son My residents in the past. We have stored other items for conservation and preservation to ensure they are kept for the next generation," Hanh said.
