Generations of loss - S21 prison museum, Cambodia.

 

Yet another haunting image taken in this sobering museum which

documents many of the people lost to Pol Pots regime in the late

1970's. Almost all of the people held at S21 were later taken to the

extermination camp at Choeung Ek, and were executed. During the

first part of 1977, S21 claimed a terrifying average of 100 victims

per day.

It was a gruesome and compelling place.

 

Thank you for taking the time to look closer. Comments are most

welcome.

 

Regards
