The southwestern border defence war and the war against the Pol Pot genocidal regime has passed four decades, however the pain of huge losses still deeply hurts the poor land of Ba Chuc, Tri Ton in An Giang province. A grave house was built in 1979, keeping 1,159 remains of local people that were brutally murdered during the war. The grave house is like an eternal symbol of Pol Pot's crimes in the past (Photo:VNA)

On April 18, 1978, Pol Pot troops rushed into Ba Chuc, slashing and killing innocent civilians. More than 3,000 local people were brutally executed within 12 days and only three people survived after the massacre. In 1979, An Giang provincial authorities and people built a population of criminal evidence, including seven categories: grave house, memorial monument, house of tradition, pavilion, lotus pond, guest house and guard rail.
