CHOEUNG EK KILLING FIELDS (Cambodia)
Here are a few pics of Choeung Ek, about 10 miles from Phnom Penh. This was the site of about 17,000 executions when Pol Pot was dictator.

First, the countryside next to Choeung Ek...



Pond where small pieces of some remains exist (it prevented remains from drifting away during floods in the past)...



Buddhist stupa with the public display of skulls from Choeung Ek...



Once you get closer, you can see what's inside...



Display inside...



Clothes that were found after Choeung Ek was dismantled...



Ground where burials had taken place...



Tree with the loudspeaker that muffled the screams...





All of the above pictures on this page were taken in March 2012 by Brandt Maxwell.
