The killing fields Choeung Ek

"Pol Pot  and many other founders of the Khmer Rouge  were well-educated students who had lived in France . In 1968, they formed the Khmer Rouge  On April 17, 1975, two years after the U.S. pulled out of Vietnam, Phnom Penh fell to Khmer Rouge troops and U.S.-supported government forces surrendered"

after visiting the genocide museum, rith our cab driver took us to the killing fields of choeung ek which is one among many of those in cambodia..but the most famous one.

Those being killed were often hit over the head with clubs in a bid to save bullets. there is a audio guided tour  which  gives you in depth knowledge about the killings been done here.

the skulls in cambodia exhibited in glass shelves.

 the bands -lucky bands or bhudist bands tied over the mass grave by visiting tourists.

 the mass grave where people were killed and buried

the tree where they killed small children by beating them against this tree.

the whole trip would give you a chill down your spine with the audio humming in your ears. we could feel innocent men, women and children crying for help, with pain, been killed.

moving on i remembered the bhudist prayer and recited it before leaving this so called killing field.

"Let us pray that all living beings realize that they are all brothers and sisters, all nourished from the same source of life"
