Today, I visited the Toul Sleng S-21 Museum and the Killing Fields. S-21 was a prison in Phnom Penh where prisoners of the Khmer Rouge were kept. Some were killed in the prison, and others were transport to the Killing Fields before they died. Both sites are full of horror and memory, but both are integral in understanding the Cambodian people of today.
The fist three photos are at S-21, and the last two are at the Killing Fields.
Yup, these are some of the images I associate with Cambodia....
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing the contrast between these images and the huge Cambodian smile - you would almost never guess they come from the same country sometimes.
