Choeung Ek Memorial Site Honours Victims of Khmer Rouge Atrocities

Choeung Ek serves as a powerful memorial to thousands of victims executed by the Khmer Rouge, many of whom were transferred from the infamous S-21 prison, with the site commemorated following Cambodia's liberation in 1979

The Choeung Ek Genocidal Centre, also known as The Killing Fields, serves as a memorial to the Cambodians killed there during the Khmer Rouge regime. It features a haunting large memorial stupa containing many victims’ skulls and is located 15 kilometres southwest of Phnom Penh.
