In Phenom Penh, Cambodia we visited the horrific killing fields and torture chambers of Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge. The pictures of the actual killing fields are too much for me to add to this web page due to their shocking nature. The mass graves have not been completely excavated; therefore, much of the walking path through the aptly named "killing fields" is littered with clothing and bones coming up through the ground. Above is a high school that the Khmer Rouge converted into torture chambers. It has been left just as it was found. These were the most shocking places we have visited thus far. We highly recommend renting the movie "The Killing Fields" to learn more.
