What a fascinating but heartbreaking memorial. I understand this isn’t something everyone would want to see, but personally I would be interested in visiting somewhere like this.

Being pushed outside our comfort zone after something so terrible has happened is a good thing, it’s what helps prevent events like this happening again in future.

It’s important to sometimes look back and reflect on the terrible parts of history. Hopefully the more tragedies we remember, the fewer will happen in the future. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my this is so sad. I do think that places like this genocide museum should be torn down BUT then I think they serve as a true reminder of what is good and bad in the world.

Oh my God. I read this post start to finish, then left it open for my husband to read too. I knew about the genocide in Cambodia but didn’t know about this- and I’m so glad they kept it the way that it is, regardless of how hard it is to think about or stomach. It serves as a reminder about what absolute power can do and about the viles of humanity. It’s hard to believe that men ran these prisons, that a human being is capable of doing what many of them would have done there.
I would be interested to know what happened to the guards of the prison, or the ones who inflicted the torture upon it’s prisoners.
