Liuzhangli Mass Grave

A hillside burial ground in Liuzhangli (六張犁) holding the remains of more than two hundred political prisoners executed in Taipei during the early 1950s, most of them sentenced by the Taipei Garrison Command between 1950 and 1953. The graves, many marked only with small unsigned stones, were left unclaimed by families fearful of state retaliation, and the site lay forgotten until a White Terror survivor rediscovered it in 1993 while searching for his executed brother. Around six or seven of every ten dead are waishengren accused of being communist spies, among them 228 Incident woodcut artist Huang Jung-tsan (黃榮燦) and the journalist Shen Yuan-chang (沈嫄璋). It was designated a cultural landscape in 2016 and now sits within the Martial Law Era Political Victims Memorial Park (戒嚴時期政治受難者紀念公園).
