This was one of the checklist tour for us. We visited the infamous S21 Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh. This is also called the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. This was a school before it was converted to a detention and torture centre by the army of Pol Pot during the Khmer Rouge period. During Khmer Rouge (1975 - 1979) Pol Pot’s army killed 4 million people. The population of Cambodia at that time was 12 million. Which means one in every 3 people were killed. The torture methods were horrible and so inhumane.

After S21 we proceeded to the Killing Field. This was the place where all the prisoners were brought for killing after they have confessed to the crime (associated with western culture). There were people who did nothing but they used to confess only to escape for the torture. People were brought in trucks and were killed. There are mass graves and some graves were hosting as high as 450 dead bodies. There were graves where people the bodies were found without head which means they were decapitated. Even babies were also killed by smashing their head into a tree trunk. That tree is called killing tree. Pol Pot’s philosophy was “One innocent can die but not a single person who is associated with western culture should live”. He used to kill the babies so that no one grow up tomorrow and take revenge of their parents’ killing.

This was a very intimidating and disturbing tour. This was the darkest phase of Cambodian history.
