Immediately after the end of the border defence war, the Party, State, and An Giang province built the Ba Chuc crypt. By 2013, it was upgraded into a historical site to commemorate the victims of the massacre and educate future generations about patriotic traditions. Currently, the site preserves 1,159 skulls, of which 1,017 have been identified for age and sex./.
