The Nga Ba Giong War Martyrs Monument, covering around 10 hectares in Xuan Thoi Thuong commune in HCMC’s Hoc Mon District, was recognized as a national historical relic site in 2002. It was a place where the French colonialists executed 903 Party members and patriots who joined the Nam Ky Uprising, such as Ha Huy Tap, Nguyen Van Cu, Vo Van Tan, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Phan Dang Luu, and others. The historic uprising, which broke out on November 23, ran in the final weeks of 1940.
