On to the Killing Fields


The Killing Fields - where people were taken after being tortured to be killed. About 14km outside of PP has now been made a shrine to the thousands who died. As a place it is calm and peaceful but look down at the ground and you see clothes still half buried where they fell from the victims bodies. A temple has been built in memory of those who died and it houses rows upon rows of skulls and clothes recovered from the mass graves. For me though it was this tree against which children were beaten before being dropped on spikes ... to the right you can see bones that were recovered last month.
