S21 - Mother and Baby. In 1975 Tuol Svay Prey High School was taken over by Pol Pot's security forces. It then became a centre of detention and torture where most of the detainees where taken for extermination at Choeung Ek. In 1977 it was estimated that S21 claimed an average of 100 victims per day. Haunting photographs of the prisoners were taken prior to their execution and now pepper the walls of this disturbing yet compelling museum.

S21, a negative reminder - "The image on the wall". S21 Prison (Cambodia) is now a powerful reminder of the atrocities carried out by the Khmer Rouge in the late 1970's. The prison was a detention and torture centre. The photograph on the back wall in this image depicts the scene found by the first non-Khmer people to enter the prison following the liberation of Cambodia. It shows the corpse of a young man shackled to the bed (foreground) having been tortured to his death.
