The highlight was misnamed by someone and calls it the S-21. It stands for security prison and the last two digits of the phone number that was assigned to the prison at the time. The prison was used to torture people to obtain information for Pol Pot's communist leadership. Many people were tortured here and then killed on The Killing Fields. A genocide against their own people carried out by the Khmer Rouge.

Sent right place where a lot of horror happened. Here people were tortured and to get more information against the enemies. It was mostly assumed that they were spies from the FBI and CIA. Millions of their own people were killed in the process. A very dark chapter in Cambodia that was unleashed by Pol Pot, a communist leader.

Under the Khmer Rouge regime, people were imprisoned here in a 2 m² cell and tortured to find information for the communists. They should tell each other if they are spies, for example Americans. They were then killed at the Killing Fields.
