INTRODUCTION TO THE TUOL SLENG
GENOCIDE MUSEUM

In the past "TUOL SLENG "Museum was one of the secondary
schools in the capital, called "Tuol Svay Prey" highSchool.
After the 11th ,April 1975 Pol Pot clique had transformed
it into a prison called "S-21"( Security office 21 ) which was the biggest
in Kampuchea Democratic . It was surrounded with the double wall
of corrugated iron , surmounted by dense barbed wires.

The classrooms on the ground and the first floors were pierced
and divided into individual cells, whereas the ones on the second floor
used for mass detention.

Several thousands of victims (peasants, workers, technicians, engineers, doctors, teachers, students buddhist monks, ministers, Pol Pot's Cadres soldiers of all ranks, the Cambodian Diplomatic corps, foreigners, etc..) were imprisoned and exterminated with their wives and their children.

There are a lot of evidences here proving the atrocities of Pol Pot clique.

Cells, instruments of torture; documents, list of prisoner's names, mugshoots of victims, their clothes and their belongings. We founded the mass graves surrounding, and in particular, the most ones situated 15 Km in the southwest of Phnom Penh , in the
village of Chhoeung Ek District Dangkor Kandal Province.
