- While this NOT a pleasant experience, it is a necessary one. A reminder that pain and corruption are universal and we need to stand together as a species against these atrocities. Dark tourism is a controversial subject that I hope to discuss in the future. But for now, I invite you to research what happened in Cambodia after the Vietnam war.
My dad still suffers from the traumatic experience he told me he was making dinner until the Khmer rouge started evacuated my dad an mom in Phnom Penh 😔
Thank you for sharing. People think this happened long ago. Sadly, the scars are very visible today
It was around 50 years ago. That’s pretty damn recent.😔
I visited this passed summer during my study abroad. All my classmates were affected differently throughout the (audio) tour. I wanted to try to get some pictures, but I felt my arms go numb and couldn’t hold up my phone. When going into building b, I felt such sorrow in my spirit that I felt my knees were gonna give out. That was how horrifying and inhumane was of S-21
Very difficult place to put it lightly.
@@Minoritynomad yea
Thanks for taking the time to comment and share your experience.
I remember visiting this back in 2006. The memories still hit hard.
Somethings you cant shake
@@Minoritynomad Not sure if you visited the "killing fields" monument where they have the tower of skulls and you walk between all the dug out mass graves? that still bothers me to this day to think about.
Yeah. Not this time but before. They have the skulls here as well.
@@IdeaStudioBKK When I was there in 2007, it is exactly how you described it, grim. What insulted me were the hawkers selling T-shirts just a few feet away from the stupa. To me that was pretty damn disrespectful while at the same time, its Cambodia. I have no dog in that fight.
It's crazy to think that this is the place where so many people were Being tortured in the not so distant past.
Shows how far we still have to go. Definitely puts things into perspective seeing it in person and meeting people that loved through it.
Such sad history, thanks for sharing man. This is stuff you don’t hear nor see everyday
Yeah. Its tough being there but absolutely necessary
There’s no way I would have the stomach to have lunch in that place after visiting the entire museum. Would be interesting to do a paranormal investigation at 2:00 am in there also.
I visited with my mother in 2018 - I can confirm that not much food was consumed after seeing all of this :(
S21 is still the same when I was there in May 2007. Yes, it is 'dark tourism' but if your not squeamish to this part of history, go and take a look. If you're ver back in Cambodia, take a look at Choeung Ek/ The Killing Fields.
No. Been 3 times before. I honestly dont believe theres a point in going after being here.
Khmer Rough regime (1975-1979) was the obvious hell on earth. 😭😭😭 Three millions people were killed and the survivors become having mental trauma, PTSD, depression, mental retardation etc.
Cambodian genocidal regime was led by Cambodian Communist Party, directed by Pol Pot, Nuon Chea, Ieng Sary, Son Sen, Ta Mok, Khieu Samphan, Vorn Vet, Ieng Thyrith , Koy Thuon, Toch Phoeun , etc.
This regime has no freedom, no human rights, no mercy upon human life , no justice , no healthcare , no foods , no families living , no personal properties, no free opinions , no schools , no universities , no religions , no hospitals , no cash , no markets , no cities livings , no arts , no entertainments , no holidays , no family meeting , no free uniform , no complaints , no free own name , no free trips , no courts , no elections , no news , etc.
A truly sad time in human history. We should learn from events like this as a species.
What was the purpose of this genocide why did it happen ???
Only work and death
Oh, that's so terrible what those poor people went through. Legit hell on earth!
Agreed. Sad reality
That’s great that they have this museum. A lot of people don’t want see or hear about atrocities committed in the past, but if you don’t see or hear about It is likely going to happen again. Like in America, the majority don’t want to see are hear about slavery or Jim Crow. Some people still thank the holocaust was over exaggerated. I get upset when people say why you want to bring up the past. I always respond if you do t talk about the history of your culture. Then it’s most likely going to repeat itself. What was the reason for torturing and killing these kids.
My mom still has ptsd from this everytime she sees a worm or something that crawls like one she freaks out because they made her capture infected rats with parasite and everyone who ate them sees them using the bushes and see worms crawling out
I'm already visit this museum
It was so scary that's a lot of bones and skulls
Thank you for sharing
i visited this place in summer 2018, an I decided to watch this video to see if my memory was correct or I exaggerated some facts. So no exaggeration found, it's exactly how I remember it, and there is no words adapted enough to describe this horror .So thank you for this video and euuuuh... a simple question! How could you eat after this? 😛
I grew up poor during the crack Epidemic in inner-city Cleveland. Then, i served a decade in the US military during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. I'm no stranger to the depravity of humanity, and I don't have the same reaction to seeing things like this as others do as I've seen it all my life in different ways. In many ways, desensitised to it.
I can understand how it causes problems for others to see. I'm just not one of those people.
Listen to the man, he's right. This one is a little more challenging. but when you deploy or are hurrying back from R&R rest every chance you have. More if the final destiny is the Middle East.
Im from indonesia, thank you for sharing🙌
