Killing Fields, Mass murder site in Cambodia
The Killing Fields are a number of sites where mass killings and burials occurred under the Khmer Rouge regime.
From 1975 to 1979, over a million people were executed in the Killing Fields by the Khmer Rouge.
Memorials and museums at these sites honor the victims and serve as a reminder of the atrocities.
The most visited site among the Killing Fields is Choeung Ek, located just outside Phnom Penh.
Evidence of the genocide, such as clothing and bones, still surfaces after heavy rainfalls.
