Phnom Penh

The memorial stupa at the Phnom Penh killing fields, Cambodia. It also serves as a mausoleum for the skulls and bones of many of the victims.

People tie bracelets and beads to the posts that border the mass graves.

The killing tree. There are no words.


A corner of one of the torture rooms at Tuol Sleng prison, Phnom Penh.



If you haven't heard of Tuol Sleng (S21) prison, look it up.


Prisoner at S21.

Mass shackles.

The balcony running outside the prison cells. It used to be a school.

The Khmer Rouge were meticulous keepers of records. These are some of the child victims.


Tuol Sleng is probably the most depressing place I've ever been, but I'm so glad I went.
