The Killing Fields

Filed Under Cambodia

Welcome back!

In a country that has experienced so much sadness and so much turmoil in the last 35 years they are one of the most fascinating and interesting countries to visit and is the new hot spot destination in South East Asia. It is only in recent years that Cambodia has surfaced on the tourist radar for discerning people who are looking for something different in a travel experience. No longer is Cambodia a high risk destination but a fascinating cultural experience with a rich and turbulent history. In few other destinations is this more apparant than in The Killing Fields, also known as Choeung Ek.

The Killing Fields as they are known was the site of mass torture and executions that took tens of thousands of people away during the mad period of rule of the Khmer Rouge. During 1975 to 1979 over 200,000 people were killed by the Khmer Rouge. The targeting of citizens was indiscriminate and focused on the educated elite, those that showed any dissention towards government and in some cases people who were voluteered by people as betraying the beliefs of the Khmer Rouge. During this period Phnom Penh was virtually deserted, in a country of nearly 7 million it it estimated between 1.4 and 2.2 million died either directly or indirectly from the barbaric reign.

The Killing Fields is home to one of the major sites where the killing of innocent citizens occured. People were taken to Choeung Ek to be tortured or killed often from Toul Sleng the converted school that was the destination of imprisonment of many Cambodians in Phnom Penh. The Killing Fields is approximately 30 minutes by road from Phnom Penh and is a place that gives you the feeling of sadness. The first site you notice is the Bone Tower a multi storey building that houses the skulls of those victims found at The Killing Fields. This is a sombering site, where you see the skulls of the poor victims who who killed. The Killing Fields is not large and you can easily walk around and read all the assoicated stories provided in less than 1 hour. What is most alarming is the small pits where hundreds of people were just dumped in, no such thing as a burial more like a pit to drop people in. One site is particularly sad, the Killing Tree where children were mercilessly killed. The site of clothes appearing in the soil, some still with colour is a stark memory of the sadness that occured here and a reminder that we should never let this happen again.
