Tuol Sleng Genocide-Museum (S-21) / Killing Fields, Cambodia 2019

Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum is the memorial site of “Security Office 21” (S-21) of the Khmer Rouge regime and located in what was then the abandoned city of Phnom Penh, its citizens having been evacuated on 17 April 1975.

S-21 served as the central hub of a vast prison system throughout the country and was used during the period as a secret facility for the detention, interrogation, torture and extermination of those deemed “political enemies” of the regime. Very few inmates were released from the prison during the years 1975 and 1979. Only 12 former inmates survived the S-21 prison when Phnom Penh was liberated. Four of them were children.
