Day 29 Part 2 - Tuol Sleng Museum

After visiting the Killing Field of  Choeung Ek we went to the Tuol Sleng Museum of Genocide. This was a former school turned into a prison where Cambodians were tortured until they were transported to Cheung IK for their murder.

The Gallows

 
 
 

 

Room after room was filled with photos
of the tortured and murdered

Various methods of torture were depicted 

 
 

 



Australian

French

Tiny brick cells were made
 in each classroom

You can imagine school
children playing at recess

 


Phnom Penh became a ghost town when Pol Pot
ordered everyone out to the farms

 

This 10 year old girl's English was unbelievable!

Needless to say it was a very disturbing for us to visit the Killing Field and Tuol Sleng.
