Cambodian Genocide Memorials
Details
- Abstract / Summary
- From 1995 to 2004, the Documentation Center of Cambodia set about the difficult task of mapping the Cambodian killing fields. Through interviews and physical exploration, DC-Cam identified 19,403 mass burial pits, 189 prisons that operated during the Democratic Kampuchea (DK) period, and 80 memorials constructed by survivors of the DK regime. Many of those sites contain - or once contained - the remains of thousands of victims, and they are located throughout 170 Cambodian districts and almost all of Cambodia's provinces. Here are the main Genocide Memorial sites that I've encountered on my travels around Cambodia, recorded here in honour of the approximate 1.7 million victims of the Khmer Rouge period.
