Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum
Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum is a museum in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, recording the terrifying reign of Khmer Rouge.
It was used as a high school before. But in 1975, Tuol Svay Prey High School was taken over by Pol Pot’s security forces and turned into a prison known as Security Prison 21 (S-21). It soon became the largest center of detention and torture in the country. Between 1975 and 1978 more than 17,000 people held at S-21 were taken to the killing fields of Choeung Ek (Killing Fileds).
Now S-21 has been turned into the Tuol Sleng Museum serving as a testament to the criomes of the Khmer Rouge. A visit to Tuol Slen is a profoundly depressing experience. The sheer ordinariness of the places makes it even more horrific. It shows you a series of miserable history that can make you deep into this country.
