Choeung Ek, Genocide memorial site in Kandal Province, Cambodia.
The memorial features a glass-walled stupa containing over 8,000 human skulls and bones excavated from the surrounding mass graves at Choeung Ek.
Between 1975 and 1978, more than 17,000 individuals were transported from S-21 prison to this former orchard for execution under the Khmer Rouge regime.
The Memorial Stupa, constructed in 1988, follows Buddhist architectural traditions to honor and preserve the memory of those who perished at this location.
The site provides audio guides in multiple languages, offering detailed explanations of 15 different stations throughout the grounds for a comprehensive understanding.
During heavy rainfall, fragments of human bones and clothing continue to surface from the 129 mass graves, with 43 left undisturbed as historical evidence.
