Tuol Sleng torture center, Prison museum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
The former secondary school contains five buildings with preserved cells, torture chambers, photographs, and personal belongings of victims from 1975-1979.
The Khmer Rouge regime transformed this educational facility into Security Prison 21, where over 20,000 individuals were imprisoned and tortured between 1975 and 1979.
The museum organizes ceremonies during Pchum Ben festival, when Buddhist monks and community members gather to honor the memory of S-21 victims.
The museum archives contain extensive documentation, photographs, and artifacts accessible to researchers and visitors studying the Cambodian genocide.
The prison records show that only twelve individuals survived imprisonment at S-21, with some spared due to their specific technical skills.
