Tips from the community
Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia is a harrowing reminder of the atrocities committed during the Khmer Rouge regime from 1975-1979. Once a high school turned into a prison camp known as S-21, the museum tells the story of the estimated 20,000 people who were tortured and executed there. Visitors can see the spartan cells, torture devices, and photos of victims that make for a sobering and educational experience. The museum stands as a testament to the resilience of Cambodians and their determination to never forget the past.
