Funeral for Trần Anh Thư, a six-month-old Vietnamese child, at Acacia Memorial Park, May 2, 1975
Order an ImageIn early April 1975, shortly before the end of the Vietnam War, hundreds of Vietnamese children orphaned by the war were brought to the US to be adopted.
Trần Anh Thư, a Vietnamese infant brought to the U.S. during Operation Babylift, died from pneumonia and malnutrition shortly after arriving in Seattle. This photo from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer shows mourners gathered at her burial at Acacia Memorial Park. It is one of the few records that Trần lived, died, and was mourned here in Seattle.
