Drive to the killing fields of Choeung Ek (16 km south
of Phnom Penh). Between 1975 and 1978 about 17.000 men, women,
children and infants (including nine westerners) detained
and tortured at S-21 prison were transported to the extermination
camp of Choeung Ek. They were often bludgeoned to death to
avoid wasting precious bullets. Fragments of human bone and
bits of cloth are scattered around the disinterred pits. Over
8000 skulls, arranged by sex and age, are visible behind the
clear glass panels of the Memorial Stupa, which was erected
in 1988.
Return to Phnom Penh.

Visit the Notorious Tuol Sleng Museum. In 1975 Tuol
Svay Prey High School was taken over by Pol Pot's security
forces and turned into a prison known as Security Prison 21
(S-21). It soon became the largest such center of detention
and torture in the country. More than 17.000 people held at
S-21 were taken to the extermination camp at Choeung Ek to
be executed; detainees who died during torture were buried
in mass graves in the prison ground. The museum displays include
room after room of these photographs of men, women and children
covering the walls from floor to ceiling; virtually all the
people pictured were later killed.
Visit the Russian Market (Psah Tuol Thom Pong), a
lively outdoor market where you will find antiquities, silver
and gold jewelry, gems, silk, kramas, stone and wood carvings,
as well as T-Shirts, CDs and other souvenirs.
