Glorious war memories recaptured at Hoa Lo Prison Relic Site
PANO - On the occasion of the 73rd Wounded and Fallen Soldiers’ Day (July 27), the Management Board of Hoa Lo Prison Relic Site organized a special program entitled “In memory - Light fire of gratitude” on the evening of July 27 at the relic site.
The program’s highlight was the telling of ten stories about the life of the captives, love, maternal love, and comradeship at this so-called “hell on earth” prison.
This special program is part of the week of gratitude hosted by the relic site. During the week, visitors will visit the prison at night, watch lively scenes on the touching meeting between Nguyen Duc Canh and his mother at a cell for death sentence prisoners.
