Choeung EK Genocidal Center
One cannot go to Cambodia without noticing that there is a missing segment of the population. The 45-65 year olds are gone. Pol Pot ranks up there with Hitler and Stalin and estimates are that 2-3 million people died directly or indirectly from his actions and policies. There are over 300 known "killing fields" in Cambodia. In the mid 1970's Pol Pot drove all the people from the cities into the country side. He killed any one with handicaps, that wore gasses, or had an education. If there was any suspicion, you were killed. This was a somber visit to this site.
