Entitled “The gratefulness”, the exhibition marks the 71st anniversary of the War Invalids and Martyrs’ Day, on July 27th.
The display is divided into 2 parts. The first part covers stories about a “special frontline” between colonialists’ prisons and the firmness and loyalty of revolutionary soldiers in protest of the enemy’s torture.
The second part is a collection of postwar stories from those who are fortunate to be alive and reunite with their relatives, however there are those who never come back.
