Of the 20,ooo killed here, only 1994 are buried in the cemetary. Very few are identified. The most famous 'patriot' is Vo Thi Sau. She was executed by firing squad in 1952. She was 19 years old. People pay repect by lighting incense and leaving small gifts. Visible are combs, make up and a mirror (symbolic because she died so young). In the short time of my visit, four people came to pray for her.
I think this is her original tomb stone.
