Informations supplémentaires

Photograph by David Coleman. Hoa Lo Prison, commonly known as the "Hanoi Hilton, " is a historical site located in central Hanoi, Vietnam. Originally built by the French colonial government in the late 19th century, the prison was used to detain Vietnamese political prisoners who opposed French rule. During the Vietnam War, it gained international notoriety when it was used to house American prisoners of war (POWs), including Senator John McCain. The prison's name, "Hoa Lo, " translates to "fiery furnace" or "hell hole, " reflecting the harsh conditions endured by the inmates. After the war, much of the prison was demolished, but the remaining sections have been preserved and converted into a museum. The Hoa Lo Prison Museum offers a somber insight into Vietnam's turbulent history, featuring exhibits on the French colonial period, the struggle for independence, and the experiences of American POWs. Artifacts, photographs, and personal accounts provide a detailed narrative of the prison's role in Vietnam's past. The site serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and sacrifice of those who were imprisoned there.
