About this place

On 16 March 1988 chemical weapons killed thousands of people in Halabja in a single day. The monument on the edge of town holds the museum, photographs, and halls with the names of the dead; the cemetery of the victims is close by. Visit quietly, and ask before photographing anyone who is there to remember a family member.
