The Killing Fields at Choeung Ek, Cambodia (outskirts of Phnom Penh)

This was an organized shore excursion from the RV Amadara while docked Phnom Penh. During the Khmer Rouge reign, from 1975 to 1979, an estimated 1.7M to 2.5M Cambodians died from execution, starvation or disease – almost a quarter of the population. Killing fields dot the country, with more than 20,000 mass grave sites containing more than 1.38m bodies, according to the Documentation Centre of Cambodia. The largest of the killing fields was Choeung Ek, which sits on the outskirts of Phnom Penh and today serves as a monument to all those who died – and those who survived. It is also an educational tool that could help us to ensure that history of Cambodia never repeats itself.
