	Tuol Sleng Museum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
		Tuol Sleng Museum, also known as the Museum of Genocidal Crimes is located in Phnom Penh and was the infamous S-21 prison of the Khmer Rouge.
		The museum is perhaps best known for housing the skull map that had been composed of 300 skulls and other bones by the Vietnamese during their occupation of Cambodia, to serve as a reminder of what happened at S-21 prison.
		Today, the museum is still open to the public, and along with the Choeung Ek Memorial (The Killing Fields), is included as a point of interest for those visiting Cambodia.

	Cambodia Tales - Tuol Sleng
		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.

		Each photograph was proof that Tuol Sleng had received the prisoner and was intended to convince leaders that all the enemies of the regime were being found and "smashed," as the Khmer Rouge put it.
		We meet with one of the official photographers at Tuol Sleng, the man who looked in the eyes of all the people murdered there, knowing every one was doomed.

	TUOL SLENG AS A PRISON
		The museum cannot last much longer without proper attention; it urgently needs important restorative and preventative repairs (which should be done in a manner that preserves its original Khmer Rouge period form as much as possible).
		(The Tuol Sleng museum does not have even have pesticides.) The paper in many of these original Khmer Rouge documents is turning yellow; typed or hand-written texts, including a number of prisoner confessions and related documents, have become increasingly faded to the point that many are hardly legible.

		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.

		From 1975 until 1979, an estimated 17,000 political prisoners, most just ordinary citizens, were tortured at Tuol Sleng and died, or were executed in the nearby Killing Fields.
		The prison population of Tuol Sleng, also known as S-21, was carefully catalogued; in fact, the metal neck brace employed for holding subjects' heads in place for the admitting photograph is on display.
		There are some written accounts in English, paintings done by a survivor, and gory photos of the common torture practices in the prison, but perhaps what is most haunting is the fear in the eyes of the newly arrived; one wing of the buildings is dedicated to these very arrival photos.

		The museum's entrance is on the western side of 113 St just north of 350 St, and it is open daily from 7 to 11.30 am and from 2 to 5.30 pm; entry is US$2.Like the Nazis, the Khmer Rough was meticulous in keeping records of their barbarism.
		The museum displays include room after room in which such photographs of men, women and children cover the walls from floor to ceiling; virtually all the people pictured were later killed.
		There is something about the sheer ordinariness of the place that make it even more horrific; the suburban setting, the plain school buildings, the grassy playing area where several children kick around a ball, ousted beds, instruments of torture and wall after wall of harrowing fl-and-white portraits conjure up images of humanity at its worst.
