I visited the place once. And I recommend everyone who goes to Da Nang and have time to go there. (~ 3 hours by car from Da Nang). It is comparable with Nazi crime in WWII.

Unfortunately these days, young Vietnamese seems to have negative sentiments about Bach Ho, who in my opinion stands among the greatest giant in history of mankind.

How is your opinion?

Only small part of Vietnamese have negative opinion about him. Almost they are living in oversea, people in Vietnam rarely give bad opinion about him. Although I dont love the Vietnamese regime but generaly I supposed Vietnamese native people give the respect for these thing he did. Maybe you only know or chat with Vietnamese in oversea so It makes you think like that. Have one anwser on quora about Ho Chi Minh, I think It is right opinion from Vietnamese:

In Vietnam, he is a respected figure, generally considered a founding father of modern Vietnam. He commands the kind of respect similar to that of Queen Elizabeth II in the UK, George Washington and the founding fathers in the US, King Juan Carlos I in the 90s Spain, Mahatma Gandhi in India, or even Mao Zedong in China. I guess every country needs a symbolic figure to bring the people together through tough times and Ho Chi Minh was made to play this role and he certainly stayed in the heart of the people for a very long time.

We call him "Uncle Ho". People in the country look up to him as a moral authority. When we were kids, we were taught his 5 teachings for children, that includes values not much different from what you have in a Western society: patriotism, hard working, cooperation, discipline, humbleness, integrity, bravery, and hygiene (yes, hygiene! It was important in a post-war, poverty ridden Vietnam).

In school we learnt about his life, his adventures around the world to find a way to save the country, his fluency in multiple languages, meetings with world leaders to negotiate alliance, his humble and frugal life. He is like a cool grandfather that you always wish to have.

If you have a chance to go to an international sports games where the Vietnam national team plays (especially soccer, we are crazy about soccer), listen and you will hear the loud singing and chanting from the stalls. It goes like this "Vietnam.... Ho Chi Minh...". No-one decided that this is the song we should sing to rally our sportsmen and women. No-one knows how it started. Some time in the past, someone sang it at a game and it caught on. And then everyone was singing it. The people just found that this is the song that connects all of their hearts.

What do you expect from world’s biggest terrorist regime?
They should be nuked out by NK.

Will definitely go at the first opportunity. These atrocities should not be forgotten, they should be remembered and made the rest of the world know and remember about them.

The US people cite the names of every single people killed during the 9/11 and their media work in tandem with the US regime not let it to be forgotten.

I guess our own victims also deserve to be remembered and cited.

How is your opinion?

He was a great man whatever standard you have!
And no one is perfect off course but we are human and human make mistakes!

The thing I like the most about MAO Z edong is that he was not only founder of PRC but also A very talent poet! you should read his Qinyuanchun xue 沁园春 雪 master piece level!
The thing I hate the most about MAO is his starting and support for the so called cultural revolution , he did not want to lose power and been selfished for this time! CHINA lost 10years of development,and instead ,in most areas backwarded actually and people were suffering for things in a normal society do not matter too much! Like wear a westernized suit,smoke cigare....
