The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, serves as a harrowing reminder of the atrocities committed during the Khmer Rouge regime. Originally a high school, the site was transformed into Security Prison 21 (S-21), one of the most notorious detention and torture centers from 1975 to 1979. The museum now stands as a memorial to the estimated 17,000 prisoners who were held and executed there.
