My class and I went on a field trip to visit the Liberation War Museum a few days ago.
After reaching there, we saw a documentary on our Liberation War. The documentary
gave life to the gut-wrenching horrors of war that we read about in books. Additionally,
we learned about the history of Bengal & the struggle for the independence of
Bangladesh. Moreover, we saw how West Pakistan discriminated against and
exploited the people of East Pakistan. We saw the martyrs and how bravely they
fought for the independence of Bangladesh.
In my opinion, we should all honor the sacrifice of our martyrs, by standing shoulder to
shoulder with each Bangladeshi regardless of their political or religious beliefs, and
work together for the betterment of our country.

Visiting the Liberation War Museum can teach us a lot about the Bangladesh
Liberation War.
Recently, I went to the museum with my friend and teacher and it was an
amazing experience.
The museum has many things on display like pictures, belongings of the
martyrs, and things used in the war.
It is arranged in order so we could see what happened before the war and
during it.
Walking around the museum made me feel very sad because I saw the
young people who gave their lives in the war.
But it also showed me how brave and strong the Bangladeshi people are.
Overall, visiting the Liberation War Museum taught me a lot about the
Bangladesh Liberation War and how important it is to our country.
It also awakens my patriotism. It was a great experience.

War 1971,starting from the events that led to the war and the struggle
for independence, to the final victory and the birth of Bangladesh as a
sovereign nation.We can witness first-hand accounts of the atrocities
committed during the war, including the genocide of innocent civilians,
and the bravery and sacrifice of the freedom fighters who fought for their

gain a deeper understanding of the political and social context of the
war, as well as the cultural and religious diversity of the people of
Bangladesh.As a national institution, the museum plays an important
role in preserving the memory of the war and its significance for future
generations.
Overall, I believe that visiting the Liberation War Museum is a valuable
and important experience that can help us to better understand the
history and significance of the Liberation War, and to appreciate the

Visiting the Liberation War Museum has deeply influenced my
understanding of the Liberation War by providing a comprehensive and
immersive experience of the events leading up to the war, the war itself,
and its aftermath.
On my visit, I came across a bloodstained frock of a four months
old baby girl, Rehana. I was surprised to see her tiny dress and wondered
how it was even relevant to our Liberation War. Little did I know that the
newborn child was flung and trampled to death in the yard
of her home by the boots of the Pakistani military. What was her
fault? Her innocent life was taken away just because she was the
child of a commander of freedom fighters. This was a mere sacrifice
among the many more. The sacrifice of this young martyr shook my heart
deeply to the core and made me ask myself, "how am I ever going to
repay the debt of her self-sacrifice for which I enjoy my freedom as a
proud citizen of Bangladesh?".
The sacrifices of the 30 million heroes of our Liberation War are
immeasurable. The debt can never be repaid. Yet we still have to try our
best to uphold the sacrifices little by little for the rest of our lives.

At the cost of nine long months of bloody war and three million lives, we won
our great freedom. Behind this war there was a timeless history. A visit to the
Liberation War Museum a few days ago influenced my understanding of the
Liberation War. At the beginning, a documentary film was shown in the
auditorium of the museum which covered the period from 1947 to 1972. The
four galleries of the museum were arranged differently. Various newspapers
and magazines published during the Liberation War were arranged in the
galleries which bear the signature of outstanding documents of the
Liberation War. There were also weapons used by freedom fighters, items
used by national level leaders. Also learn about the women who were
abused by the Pakistani forces. A visit to the museum can make one
realize the cruel atrocities committed by the Pakistani forces on the innocent
people of our country. This trip greatly influenced my views on the Liberation
War, if not completely. After this trip, the respect for not only the freedom
fighters but the oppressed common people who spent days in hunger, the
women oppressed by the Pakistani forces, all the martyrs has increased
manifold.

Liberation war is an important chapter of Bengali history. The
liberation war of 1971 had a great impact on the consciousness of
the Bengali nation. Although the liberation war was known through
textbooks in childhood, the context of the liberation war was not
deeply understood.
A few days ago, I got an opportunity to learn a lot about the
Liberation War by visiting the Liberation War Museum. By first
watching a documentary in the museum, one gets a basic idea of
the brutality of the Pakistani occupation forces and the lives of the
people at that time. Then by visiting various galleries, an
opportunity is created to know about the issues by seeing several
pictures, pictures less about the liberation war. In addition, several
important days of the liberation war period such as: Kalratri on
25th March, Bangabandhu's speech on 10th March, formation of
Mujib Nagar government are known in detail.
Thus, a visit to the Liberation War Museum greatly influences the
perception of the Liberation War.

Today I’m going to tell you about how a visit to the Liberation War Museum in
Bangladesh affected my understanding of the Liberation War.
The Liberation War Museum is a museum in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is committed to
saving the historical backdrop of the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, and is the
only museum that is dedicated to the struggle of Bangladesh’s freedom.
I had the opportunity to visit the museum recently for a field trip of BDS course with
my classmates and I was struck by the depth of history and information that it
contained. The museum consists of several galleries that contain artifacts, pictures,
and documents related to the Liberation War. The most interesting part of the
museum is the interactive multimedia displays that tell the story of the events
leading up to, during, and after the war.
Our trip starts with a documentary that shows some events of the war. The museum
also contains a number of personal stories from people who were affected by the
war. Hearing these stories, as well as seeing artifacts from the war, gave me a much
more vivid and realistic understanding of the war and its impact on the people of
Bangladesh.
I came away from the museum with a much greater understanding of the struggles
and sacrifices of the people of Bangladesh during the war and a greater
appreciation for the spirit of freedom and independence that they fought for.

To conclude, the Liberation War of Bangladesh was a
significant event in the nation's history, marking its emergence
as an independent and sovereign state. The struggle for
freedom was not easy, and the sacrifices made by millions of
Bangladeshis will forever be remembered and honored. It is
crucial that future generations learn about and understand the
war's significance to appreciate the nation's hard-fought
freedom and continue to work towards a brighter future for all
Bangladeshis. Therefore, We highly recommend that you visit
the Liberation War Museum as it is not only a tribute to those
who fought for freedom but also a meaningful way to reflect
on the nation's past and its ongoing journey towards progress
and development.
