Killing Fields of Choeung Ek

Choeung Ek was one of the most infamous killing fields used by the Khmer Rouge to carry out mass executions. Over 17,000 people, many of whom were detainees from the nearby S-21 prison (now the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum), were brought here and executed. Following the fall of the Khmer Rouge, Choeung Ek was transformed into a memorial site, where excavated remains and preserved graves serve to educate visitors about the atrocities committed. The memorial stupa, erected in 1988, now stands as a symbol of resilience and a call for peace and justice, ensuring that this dark chapter is never forgotten.
