The horrible past of once a school that brought education to people. Turned into a place of torture and pain. Now known as the genocide museum, the 2US dollars entrance fee is worth all the heartache throughout the compound's four walls that are built about 3 metres up.
The school speaks of a time where Cambodian's faced trial and tribulation just because of suspicious feelings. Imagine you just think these people having actually betrayed a regime but they are totally innocent. The Khmer rouges took advantage of their positions at that time and the consequences were fatal.
I'm going to focus on the renakse petitions. When I first saw that, in my mind I was just wondering where hope was in all this? Did people actually want to get out of their situation? The petitions spoke of hope! Throughout the whole tour around, my heart was just hurting seeing the number of people that suffered. In my head I started to visualise the people when they heard about a petition of sort. Some were unsure, but I could just imagine people get up from their cells head held high and heart full of hope that at last the calvary would arrive!
These petitions are now important documents to justification of the khmer regime's ways of tourture or 'punishments' to the people of opposition.
In the end a new party over threw the khmer rouges and it was the end of the killings.
