During my Second trip to Phnom Penh, Cambodia, I had the opportunity to visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and The Killing Fields just outside of town.

Introduction to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum

Grotesque security rules for prisoners of S-21

View of the Tuol Sleng compound

Meticulous records, including photographs, were taken of every prisoner

Prisoners where photographed again after execution (or having died during torture) as proof

Large cell used for torture with bed and shackles

A small cell

Of the estimated 14,000-21,000 people processed through S-21, only 7 survived—one man, a painter, has tried to capture scenes from S-21 for posterity

Another gruesome act committed by the Khmer Rouge: killing small children

A country road outside the city on the way to the Killing Fields (about 30km away)

Two children riding a bike (snapped while I was zooming by on the back of a moto)

Commemorative Stupa filled with skulls excavated from the Killing Fields

One row in the Commemorative Stupa filled with skulls from the Killing Fields

A few of the almost 60 excavated burial sites

Incredibly, human bones were still sticking out of the ground
