About
The monument keeps alive the memory of the victims of the 16 March 1988 chemical attack on Halabja, which killed an estimated 3,200–5,000 people and injured thousands more — the largest chemical weapons attack ever directed against a civilian-populated area. Dedicated on 15 September 2003, it was damaged during protests in 2006 and later rebuilt as a peace museum. Its halls preserve the victims' names, photographs and belongings from that day.
