The Killing Fields

The Memorial Stupa through trees.

This evokes emotions beyond words.

Some of the pits where
bodies were dug up.

Some clothes given up by the Earth.


More excavated bones.

Soldiers who refused their duty
were summarily executed, and
many were.  Not that this excuses
soldiers for bashing children
against a tree to kill them.

Remembrances on the children's tree.

I might recall this incorrectly, as things
all run together at such horror, but
I believe headless victims were
soldiers who wouldn't kill at the
Killing Fields.


Here's a more in-depth list
of tools used in the killings.

Silent witnesses to the brutality
of Pol Pot and communism.



Another memorial
to the victims.
