Mon. 13th May. The Killing Fields of Choeung Ek.


To Choeung Ek about 15 km. out of town, site of one of the main Killing Fields . There were over 300 of these death factories in Cambodia between 1975 and 1979.

A modern pagoda holds over 8,000 skulls from this partially excavated site.




Paula beside one of the dozens of mass graves. This one alone had over 450 victims in it.
 

There were bones and teeth literally sticking out of the pathways around the pits.
