War Remnants Museum

Today we visited the War Remnants Museum in Saigon. A fascinating place chronicling the American War, the role of photojournalists, the weaponry used and some of the many war crimes inflicted on the Vietnamese people by the American armed forces. The most touching photographs were, for me, the ones that were taken by photographers moments before they died themselves; but even these paled in contrast to the section given over to war crimes, and in particular the photos and exhibits of My Lai.
This museum should be made compulsory for all visitors to Vietnam.
