I’ve been living in Cambodia for more than a decade now but it is only recently that I visited the Choeung Ek Killing Fields. Signs like you see below and the eerie atmosphere there leaves you a gut-wrenching feeling when you visit. It is not for the faint-hearted because of the horrific events that took place there but, at the same time, it is also an important reminder of man’s cruelty to one another.

This tree is a silent witness to the brutality and violence that happened here more than three decades ago.

Let us not forget that atrocities such as the Khmer Rouge era and the Holocaust happened.

This photo was originally posted to my other blog accompanying the story of my visit there.

This week’s entry is a little bit somber as I post one of the signs I saw during a visit to the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek.

A thought-provoking sign that sends shivers to my spine. This photo is originally uploaded to my other blog, Sreisaat Adventures.
