Ngo Dinh Diem and his brother Ngo Dinh Nhu were interred here. In the early 1980s, Vietnam's communist government declared the place a corrupt reminder of the past and dissolved the cemetery by 1983. In accordance to communist laws, bodies in Mac Dinh Chi were exhumed, cremated and given to remaining family members whenever possible. A theme park was built on top of the cemetery to erase all traces of the past. [5]
