My Lai Memorial

Today was a long driving day, as we had to cover more than 300km to Hoi An. On the way we had a stop at My Lai Memorial.

It was here, where US troops committed one of the most horrific crimes of the Vietnam war in March 1968 – the massacre of My Lai, during which more than 500 civilians were murdered.

We had a guided tour around the museum and were then shown a documentary of the massacre. After that we had time for a walk around the premises – for the most part done in silence. This was probably the most intense part of the trip.
