Phnom Penh Genocide Museum

This post is also available in: Italiano (Italian)

I took this video a few hours ago in the Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh.

This is one of the hundreds of prisons of the regime that killed about 3 million innocent people out of the country’s population of 8 in the second half of the 1970s.
In these prisons people (including infants) were tortured and then killed, or only passed through before execution.

Not only genocide museum

I wanted to come here primarily to see evidence of one of the greatest tragedies of the last century and about which little is known by us. But actually, Cambodia’s capital is interesting for something else as well.

For those who want to learn more I recommend the beautiful film by Angelina Jolie director first they killed my father.

It is based on the novel by sopŕavvisuta, Loung Ung.

Featured photos of a torture cell, larger because space was needed.
