Killing Fields -Choeung Ek, Cambodia [South East Asia Vlog #30]

The Cambodian Genocide was carried out by the regime of the Khmer Rouge, led by Pol Pot between 1975 and 1979. The forced relocation of the population from urban centers, torture, mass execution, use of forced labor, malnutrition and disease, caused the death of approximately 25 percent of Cambodia’s total population (around 2 million people). The genocide ended in 1979. More than 23000 mass graves have been discovered. One of these places is in Choeung Ek. Between 1975 and 1978, about 17000 men, woman, children and infants, detained and tortured at the S-21 Prison, were transported to Choeung Ek Killing Fields to be killed. The majority of the victims were trucked out to Choeung Ek around 8 or 9 PM. The guards took the prisoners from their cells to the main gate where a large truck waited and told them they were being transferred to another place. This lie was created to prevent the prisoners from crying or refusing. The number of prisoners executed at Choeung Ek on a daily basis varied from a few dozen to over three hundred. Each truck held three to four guards and twenty to thirty prisoners. When the trucks arrived at the site, the prisoners were put into a small building. The building was constructed from wood with a galvanized steel roof and its walls were built with two layers of flat wood to darken the room and also to prevent prisoners seeing each other. The prisoners were made to wait here for 24 hours before they were killed by a blow to the head after which their throats were slit. Prisoners were led in small groups to ditches and pits that were dug in advance by a team stationed permanently at the site. They were told to kneel down and they were clubbed on the neck with tools such as cart axle, hoe, stick, wooden club or whatever else served as a weapon of death. They were sometimes stabbed with knives or swords to save using bullets, which were too expensive. Babies were killed by bashing their heads against a tree. Soon after prisoners were executed, the head of inspectors made sure that no one was alive. There was a small hut with chemical substances. The executioners scattered these substances over the dead bodies of the victims after execution. This had two purposes: to eliminate the smell of the death bodies which could potentially raise suspicion among people working near the killing fields and the chemicals would have killed victims who were buried alive. There were separate graves for men, women and children. Former friends of Pol Pot who were executed here had also separate graves. The remains of 8985 people, many bound and blindfolded, were exhumed in 1980 from mass graves. 43 of the 129 communal graves here have been left untouched. Fragments of human bone and bits of cloth are scattered around the pits. Over 800 skulls, arranged by sex, are visible behind the clear glass panels of the Memorial Stupa, erected in 1988. **************************************************************** Book a hotel room via the link below (copy&paste) and receive 15 EUR reduction after your first stay (amount back on your credit card) https://www.booking.com/s/35_6/f713b660 *************************************************************** Thank you to NRV and Local Adventures https://www.nrv.nl/ http://www.local-adventures.com/ ****************************************************************** Subscribe To My Channel To See More Video's    / @eileenswanderlust   ------------------------------------------------------------- Follow me: Instagram:   / eileenswand.  .

I started this channel two years ago but was not updating on a regular basis. After making some videos for friends and family, I realized this is something I love to do. I got inspired by some of my favorite YouTube channels such as Travellight, Kara & Nate, The Way Away and the Bucketlist Family. I accepted the challenge to visit all Belgian municipalities and because I love to travel, I do it as often as possible. I just got back from one month in Asia and the next trip is already booked!
