A Photographic Memory Of Tuol Sleng Prison

Why do some of the most horrendous regimes keep the best records of their atrocities? How proud can they be? Like the Nazis, the Khmer Rouge kept track of and exhaustively photographed prisoners, torture, death, everything.

If you were cursed to be sent to Security Prison 21, your journey was well documented. The museum is smart to include many of these photographs, a direct reminder of what happened at the prison and the not faceless people who were killed there.

Processed at arrival.



They kept coming, more and more victims of the revolution.

Recorded after death.
