Introduction to the Museum of Crime

After April 17th, 1975 Pol Pot clique had transformed it into a prison called «S.21» (security office 21) which was the biggest in kampuchea Democratic. It was surrounded with a double wall of corrugated irons, surmounted by dense barbed wires. The classrooms on the ground and first floors were pierced and divided in to individual cells, whereas the ones on the second floor used for mass detention.

Several thousands of victims (peasants, workers, technicians, engineers, doctors, teachers, students, Buddhist monks, ministers, Pol Pot cadres, soldiers of all ranks, the Cambodian Diplomatic Corps, foreigners, etc...) were imprisoned and exterminated with their wives and children.

There are a lot of evidences here proving the atrocities of Pol Pot clique: cells, instruments of torture, dossiers and documents, list of prisoners' names, photos of victims, their clothes and their belongings.
