The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum is a museum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The site is a former high school which was used as the notorious Security Prison 21 (S-21) concentration camp by the Khmer Rouge regime from its rise to power in 1975 to its fall in 1979. thousands of prisoners are tortured and kept in this prison before they were being evcuated in one of those killing fields around Phnom Penh.
