Exhibition "Aspiration for Peace " with three contents: Fiery memories, Anti-war wave, For a blue sky.
The images in the section “ Fiery Memories” reflect the atmosphere in North Vietnam at the end of December 1972, with the air raids by the US imperialists in Operation Linebacker II (from December 18 to 29, 1972).
Hundreds of B52s and other tactical aircraft of the US military were mobilized to bomb and destroy Hanoi, Hai Phong and some localities in the North. Military positions, traffic hubs, factories, enterprises, hospitals, schools, and densely populated areas all became targets of US bombs.
Under the fierce rain of bombs and bullets, the armed forces proactively and creatively coordinated with the people of the capital to fight steadfastly.
With the people's war strategy, Vietnam once again affirmed its strength, establishing the victory of " Dien Bien Phu in the air".
In the content of “ Anti-war Wave” are images of activities protesting the US war in Vietnam, demanding peace that took place right in the heart of America. Many Americans participated in anti-war marches. Thousands of young people burned draft papers, hundreds of US officers were arrested for protesting the war, thousands of soldiers refused to go to war.
On the Vietnam battlefield, witnessing the painful consequences of war and the increasing casualties of their comrades, American soldiers gradually realized the evil purpose of the war and longed to find a peaceful solution….
The content of “ For a Blue Sky” is the images after the Paris Agreement on ending the war and restoring peace in Vietnam was signed on January 27, 1973, the American pilots were returned to their country. Along with the post-war wound healing activities of the Vietnamese and US governments, many American veterans returned to Vietnam to contribute to building friendship between the two countries.
Today, Vietnam is actively, positively and responsibly participating in international issues to join hands in building a peaceful and developed world.
The exhibition "Aspiration for Peace" will run until December 25, 2025 at the Hoa Lo Prison Historical Site, Cua Nam Ward, Hanoi.
Within the framework of the exhibition, a scene was performed recreating the efforts of doctors and nurses at Bach Mai Hospital in overcoming the devastating consequences of the carpet bombing of the hospital by American aircraft on December 22, 1972. The hospital director at that time, Professor Do Doan Dai, made decisive decisions to save the lives of doctors, nurses and patients buried in the rubble.
