Killing Fields Memorial

The Killing Fields Memorial is a tribute honoring the victims of the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia, particularly those who suffered in Choeung Ek. This memorial site commemorates the approximately 1.7 million people who were executed or died from starvation, disease, and forced labor between 1975 and 1979. It features a Buddhist stupa filled with thousands of human skulls, symbolizing remembrance and the importance of human rights. The memorial serves both as a historical reminder and a place for reflection, promoting awareness about the atrocities and the need for justice and reconciliation.
