Tuol Sleng Museum<\/strong> in Cambodia is one of those museums that hold the darkest secrets of the Cambodian history. It narrates the story of innocent people who were captured, tortured and then executed by the Khmer Rouge regime from 1975 to 1979. This school turned execution cell is a place where almost 20000 people were murdered by the Khmer Rouge regime only because of political reasons. After the situations got normal, this school was converted into a museum in the memory of all those people who were brutally treated and lost their lives to the battle of humanity.<\/em><\/p>\n

In 1979 the prison was uncovered by the Vietnamese army and later this school was turned into a historical museum by the government of the People’s Republic of Kampuchea. When you visit this place, you will get to know a lot about the political situations of this country at that time. You will get to see the same cage-like prisons, the various instruments from small to big sizes that were used to torment the people during interrogations and inspection session. You will also get to know about their daily life at the prison which started at 4:30 am in the morning and ended with a whole day of torture session.<\/p>\n

In the mass genocide that took place and among the 20,000 people that were convicted, only seven adults and five children managed to survive. And as a study done in 2011, today only three of these survivors of the horrendous act are alive. A visit to this museum makes you question the purpose of humanity. It bounds you to think about the ways in which these conditions could have been avoided to the maximum. It makes you question the sanity and the truthfulness of people. It makes you wonder how the lives of these people had suddenly turned into something which was even worse than hell.<\/p>\n
