The Killing Fields

by Steven Faulkner on Mar.24, 2009, under Travel

Today I went to two very intense places around Phnom Phen. The Tuol Sleng Prison and the Choeung Ek killing fields. Quite an harrowing experience. To see the hundreds of skulls stacked in the stupa at Choeung Ek was particularly chilling sight. With the internet speeds here I can’t post any pictures yet, but I highly recommend clicking through to the links and learning a little more. The Khmer Rouge only ran Cambodia for 4 years, but over 1.5 million people died during that time. It is not something we hear about too much in the US.
