		Tuol Sleng is already firmly established on the fledgling tourist route in Phnom Penh.
		Tuol Sleng, more commonly known to the Khmer Rouge as S-21, was at the hub of a sophisticated network of jails, prisons and extermination centres spread across the country.
		In Tuol Sleng alone, more than 17,000 people are believed to have been systematically imprisoned, interrogated, tortured and murdered by a group of sadistic captors, hell bent on extracting ficticious confessions to imaginary crimes, eventually devouring their own kind in a killing frenzy of freightening proportions.

		According to the KR reports found at Tuol Sleng Archive, the inflow and outflow of prisoners from 1975 to June 1978 were recorded on lists.
		Given these circumstances, the historical genocide museum Tuol Sleng is seeking substantial funding and support for refurbishment so that this museum can reach the standard of the existing historical museums in the rest of the world.
		Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum calls for international organizations and individuals that despise and condemn crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide to help us maintain this museum so as to preserve "S-21" as a reminder not only of Cambodia's recent history but of the inhumanity that sometimes overwhelms ordinary human beings.

		The halls of Tuol Sleng are lined with thousands of haunting photographs of the prisoners who were tortured and executed here.

		The purpose of this paper is to make some general observations about the Tuol Sleng and Santebal archives, first in terms of the history of the collections themselves, and second in terms of their importance to historiographical and legal accountings of the DK period.
		While the documents in the Tuol Sleng archive were produced and circulated among lower ranking cadres and administrators within the apparatus of the secret security force, documents in the Santebal archive circulated among the top echelon of the Khmer Rouge leadership, including Son Sen, Nuon Chea and Pol Pot among others.
		Another Tuol Sleng document with the heading "3rd division units: short biographies of those associated with the tendency" lists 17 family members of soldiers from the 3rd division of the Eastern Zone, nine of whom were under sixteen years old.

	Cambodian Architecture: Tuol Sleng Prison, Cambodia
		"Tuol Sleng was earlier a primary school and a lycee (Tuol Svay Prey) and became, during the regime of Pol Pot, a major place of torture and death.
		Classrooms and offices became sites of unspeakable brutalities to the perhaps 20,000 prisoners who passed through its gates; it was one of the most significant centers of the Khmer Rouge system of terror.
		It should be remembered, though, that there were many Tuol Slengs and Cheoung Eks throughout Cambodia during the Pol Pot regime; both stand as memorials to the countless victims of unspeakable cruelties."

		Tuol Sleng is now a museum featuring thousands of pictures of the former prisoners (taken by their meticulous captors for record-keeping purposes) and a number of paintings by artist and survivor Vann Nath depicting the horrors of torture and death at the center.
		Vann Nath talks about being brought to Tuol Sleng, his fear and confusion, while he paints the very same scene he is describing, brushstrokes lingering on the blindfolds placed around the prisoners’ heads.
		Panh documents the many horrors of life in Tuol Sleng: the bleeding of for transfusion supplies, the rapes of women prisoners, the torture sessions that resulted in each prisoner’s “confession.” But he also captures prisoners’ acts of defiance.

		In reality the "enemies" where often just anybody who had been mentioned in a previous "confession." The confessions were collaborative works of fiction prepared together by the torturer and the torturee, neither of whom really knew what the ultra paranoid party center wanted to hear.
		Bullets were considered too precious to waste on executions so the victims were bludgeoned to death with ax handles; infants and children were smashed against trees before their battered corpses tossed into the mass graves.
		Displayed at Tuol Sleng are the "mug shots" of some of the victims.
