Tuol Sleng, Genocide memorial museum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

The former Tuol Svay Prey High School contains preserved prison cells, torture instruments, and photographs documenting the Khmer Rouge atrocities between 1975 and 1979.

Between 1976 and 1979, over 20,000 people were imprisoned at Security Prison 21, where they underwent interrogations and torture before being transported to execution sites.

The museum maintains original artifacts, photographs, and personal belongings of victims to educate future generations about the consequences of the Cambodian genocide.

The museum provides guided tours in multiple languages, with detailed information panels and audio guides explaining the historical context of each exhibition room.

Only twelve individuals survived imprisonment at S-21, and their testimonies form an integral part of the museum's documentation of Khmer Rouge practices.
