A visit to the Choeung Ek Genocidal Centre, famously known as the Killing Fields, followed by a tour to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, is an unsettling experience. The fact that one man, a political despot, Pol Pot, could steer a civil revolution to the point where almost three million innocent Cambodians were killed mercilessly by their own people within a span of four years, from 1975 to 1979, is truly baffling.
