Cambodia Killing Fields Album
In 1975 Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia.  For the next 3 years, 8
months and 22 days the people of Cambodia were forced into communes, enslaved
and brutally killed. The Toul Sleng Prison, also known as S21, is one of 167 places  
where the Khmer Rouge forced confessions.  They then were sent to be killed.   One of
the many uncountable places for killing was Choeung Ek.  The two locations have
been preserved as a museum called the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and are located
in Phnom Penh.  These are photos of the two locations.
The Choeung Ek is one of 20,000
sites in Cambodia where Pol Pot
had 1,386,734 documented people
murdered.
The Toul Sleng Detention Center
also known as S21.  It is a school
converted to a prison.  There were
167 Detention Centers in Cambodia.
