The Ba Chúc Memorial Site has long been known as a "red address," a powerful indictment of war crimes. It also preserves the tragic memories of the people of Ba Chúc commune during the Pol Pot massacre. Every year, the site welcomes thousands of visitors from all over, researchers, and especially young people who come to visit and learn about its history.

According to Comrade Nhân, Secretary of the Ba Chúc Commune Youth Union, in implementing the policy of digital transformation associated with the preservation and promotion of the value of historical relics, the Central Youth Union has supported the digitization project of the Ba Chúc Mausoleum historical site. The core of this youth project is a smart digitization system directly integrated through QR codes placed at many convenient locations within the Ba Chúc Mausoleum historical site.
