@BrandonSkiev Im American,but lived in Thailand for 2years,and got to know some Khmers,I loved Cambodia,and want to go back soon.Its a beautifull,historic and tragic place.Peace to Cambodia, after what you've been thru.
It never happen again, why the children are responsible of the evilness of the crazies leaders to want to sweep all ethnicity, religions classes, all leaders in the world should to respect the human being rights.
Thanks Mr. Brennerr for making the video for the world to see and learn. Anything you do to help and promote about Cambodia We Khmers appreciated greatly.
klard, the causation is godless Marxism. No need to blame the West. Check out RJ Rummel's site on democide (death by government). The godless Marxists killed over 100mil last century (with Stalin and Mao leading the way). There wasn't a Marxist regime that didn't mass murder. People weren't treated as the image of God but instead as lumber and bricks to be done with as the Marxist builders desired.
Genocide is still happening in Darfur, Sudan. America and the U.N. "is aware" of it, and still not enough is being done... such a terrible repetition of history is still going on while we sit and watch youtube.
Transnational gangs, thugs, murderers like Khmer Rouge are not an evil of the past. They're not quarantined to far off lands where they murder innocents and create shadow "governments" of drug cartels and human traffickers. They're not knocking on "our" back door, waiting for visas. They don't recognize laws of nations or humanity. They'll persist through the ages & they'll prevail if no force opposes them. They'll use "lawfare" to short-circuit nations' laws, appealing to generosity of spirit.
It is heartbreaking to see the faces of these children, knowing that they will soon be cruelly slaughtered. What crimes can mere children be guilty of? How much more depraved can human beings be? The level of sheer evil perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge was unimaginable. Yet, few of those twisted killers ever faced justice for the obscenities they carried out. May they rot in hell. And those who seek to excuse what the Khmer Rouge did are beneath contempt. I pray for the souls of all the victims.
i wish people would look deeper into the causation and do thoughtful analysis. During the Nixon Administration President Nixon and Henry Kissinger devoted themselves to creating a relationship with China. The main intent of Nixon/Kissinger was to cultivate in China a counterweight to Soviet influence in Asia. Nixon schemed to have Maoist governments installed throughout SE Asia as client states of China thereby permanently depriving the Soviets of the opportunity to gain influence.
One has to wonder what the Chinese were promised, unlimited access to US markets? China is not an imperial expansionist country and had to be bought into the game. China intended in Cambodia to create a country of rice growing slaves who would exchange the rice they produced for weapons with which to engage Vietnam in a never ending war. The USA did its part by carpet bombing Cambodia to create the conditions and terror necessary for China to carry out its deed. Watch Pilger's reports.
most here are ignorant and uneducated. You blame Communism for anything and everything to advance your own sick and demented capitalist agenda. You are in bed with the United States have a good time
@CommunistNewZealand i think it's absolutely hysterical that a crackpot with a screen name like "communist newzealand" would call anyone "ignorant and uneducated" what you mean to say is "intelligent and unindoctrinated" man, you wannabe bolshevics and che guevara worshippers crack me up!
I'M SORRY I CAN'T SAY WHAT I WANT TO SAY IN ONLY 500 WORDS. PLEASE BEAR WITH ME AS I HAVE POSTED A 4 PART MESSAGE. THANKS.
All these deaths were senseless of course. Men, women and children. But the most poignant for me when I visited this place was the murder of a teenage boy, number 17.
I noticed as I walked through the old classrooms and viewed the photographs of Pol Pots genocide, a number of the people were wearing the same check shawl. I imagined that was due to the fact that when arrested, they weren't wearing a shirt, or had lost it between when they were arrested and when they arrived at Tuoi Sleng. And the regime needed somewhere to pin the allocated number for their records.
The photo of 'Boy number 17' doesn't appear with the regular photo displays, but can be found in the last room of the museum, on its own. This boys photo had been selected for the cover of a French publication on the Pol Pot Regime, and a blow-up of his photo sits alone, in the centre of an otherwise empty room.
What sets this photo apart from all the others is that 'Boy number 17' didn't have a shirt, and he wasn't given a shawl. The number 17 was pinned to his bare chest.
I can't imagine what this poor boy must have been thinking as the cadre pressed the safety pin through his skin, and he looked down at that little piece of cardboard.
I'm sorry I can only refer to this young man as "number 17', I wish I knew his name, because I think of him often, and for me he represents all that went terribly wrong in Cambodia after 1975.
@oanhnp87 Pol Pot was supported by the American Congress in the 70s.
As a famous American Congressman said while cutting off aid to the people who resisted the Khmer Rouge, "The administration has warned that if we leave there will be a bloodbath. But to warn of a new bloodbath is no justification for extending the current bloodbath."
Its hard to believe that Pol Pot caused so much pain, but the reason he was so effective was because he rucruted the young and uneducated people. killed any educated person he could get his hands on. i feel bad for the people who were forced to fight for Pol Pot.
THe KR regime and its leaders personified pure, unadulerated evil. Every one of those bastards should be shown no mercy and executed for the atocities they committed.
S 21 is a deeply moving place to visit - a place to reflect on our humanity. Seeing the photos of those victims brings us face to face with the human condition. Thanks Al.
Well i"m agree we must not allow this to happen again... and how? by international army fors who is promise all leadership if you murder or genocide people your whole family will disappear. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. The murder will stop.
Fucking evil People !!! Why must these kids die ?!!! WHY?!!!
They don't deserve to die, not like the way they did, not in those terms. They were killed for no fucking reason !!! If I have the power to kill people I would kill evil people only !!!
Very moving, have just come back from cambodia and went to S21, where these pictures were taken, the guides there are actually ex khmer rouge some who worked there and probally killed some of the people, the khmer rouge were ultra left communists not right wing fascists
History repeats itself time and again. I'm leaving on a trip in a wee bit over a month, and in a 4 week time period a sum close to 100,000 people may die in Darfur. That is going on right now.
'Even if one places some credence in the reported interview nowhere in it does Khieu Samphan suggest that the million postwar deaths were a result of official policies (as opposed to the lag effects of a war that left large numbers ill, injured, and on the verge of starvation). The "slaughter" by the Khmer Rouge is a Moss-New York Times creation.'

asianr0se u belong to toul sleng because u have so much hate on khmer. U won't be commented this way if it happen to ur own racist and u won't even think of commented like this.
perhaps it shows the end result of the wickedness of the human heart polluted in sin. Unrestrained wickedness left to its own desires leads even to the slaughter of innocent children. Should we not be reminded (or even educated if learned of for the first time) of what sinful mankind is capable of? If this bothers you (as it should), then learn and understand history. NEVER allow this to happen again. Dith Pran's dying word contained this thought. It IS our business to post these pictures!!
I don't think anything in the past can be brushed off at all. It's the matter of overcoming it and changing the mindsets of others who have done this in the past. Sometimes, I am still surprised how much of my colleagues never heard of the genocide in Cambodia. The best we can do is help explain the causes and let the future prevent it. I cannot be angry for what happened before my life time, but I can learn from it and let others be aware of it. Such a tragedy that could've been avoided.
Yes...I believe its more left...Insane thinking of a one party of total control...Collective rights enforced for the common good is how they sell it...But as in all parties Its about power that leads to corruption...With one party with total control and a insane leader...MURDER INC..Its happens so much threw time...You just can't believe it when its in your life time..And to do it to their own people..I'm lucky to live in the U.S..But it could happen anywhere really..Evil is everywhere..
8 of these comments were so dumb you don't have to be ashamed of yourself and it is really sad that a bunch of these children died in this video a long time ago and we should have some sympathy for them because you don't know if they might be related to you and i feel so bad for them that they were treated that way it doesn't matter if there different religions they all died the same way.
Sorry to dissapoint you Matt, in the early '80 I was only a little boy running around herding cattles in the rice field in Battambong, Cambodia. The US supply weapons and money to the Afganistan fighters to fight against another military super power is a bit different from the situation in cambodia. US, GB, Frence, Germany, China, and Singapore supply money and weapons through thailand to support khmer rouge to slaughtered unarmed civilians. Why the US have no regard for lives you tell me.
""Why the US have no regard for lives you tell me.""
Well.......i dont really know why.
I find it interesting you call them Afhanistan fighters. in the 80s we called them freedom fighters, now their called terrorists. Saddam used our weapons to genoicde the Kurds, religious radicals still use old US rifles to kill each other.
Oh yeah im so Tough killing Children.. what a bunch of brainwash bitches..Fucking Cowards all them assholes are gonna face there Demise.
Dont shed no tears cause this is what you get when you have greed, curruption, And Government that dont give a fuck about the people.. Suien Onuk or whatever that bitch name is Ran off to china and allowed Idiots to ruin the country..yeah lets just kill everyone who is a threat or educated..Real smart. Im so fucking ashame of being Cambodian...FUCK......
Troubles: Sihanouk did not run off to China; he was ousted by the US government and installed Lon Nol in his place. Of all the characters that I've read, I think Sihanouk has more heart for what happen to us than of
the rest of them. Hold your judgement before you presume to much. Sihanouk wanted to step in again but Kissinger wouldn't allow him to.
He was put under house arrest after he came back from China after things went hay wire with Lon Nol leadership.
Sihanouk is the force behind mobilizing the Khmer Rouge. Yes, he was used by the Khmer Rouge. Yes, he is just as guilty as those top KR murderous thugs. It is shocking to know that countless Cambodian still trust him and forgive him. He and his KR gangs wouldn't stand a chance anywhere else in the world. Only in Cambodia.
I know it's a sick thing that they took these peoples photo's before they were hauled off and murdered, but atleast now they are remembered and they have left a legacy to remind us not to let something so horrific to happen again.
It goes to show: Don't trust the Red Chinese and corrupted Cambodian politicians who have no concept of self-governing. Nothing can match the Khmer Rouge stupidity.
evil bastards pol pot and his kyhmer rouge. bastards how can they sleep after doing this. one thing is cetain they will suffer extremely in hell forever and ever.
How can people have so much hatered in thier hearts to kill another human being and on top of that, torture them...how can people find so much pleasure of watching another human begg for thier life and just watch as they scream and cry in agony, WHY!? HOW!?
I am filled with anger, sadness and confusion....
It doesn't matter where we come from or what colour our skin is...we need to come together and stop this from happening everywhere!
It's amazing that something so evil happened in my lifetime but I still don't know that much about it. These counties and the atrocities that happen in them are only a small bleep on the rich western counties.
The same with Rawanda. That happened not long ago and I learnt about it in the movie "Hotel Rawanda".
Exactly! All genocides, attempted or otherwise, should be well known to all! I Mean, these people go head to head with the nazis, but practically no one knows about these godfucking Khmer Rouge.
With all due respect Mr. Brenner, the Khmer Rouge was a left-wing, moaest, marxist organization, not a right-wing organization as you say in the video. But, as I said I respect very much what you've done here, thank you, may the children of the killing fields never be forgotten.
Man, read your comment one more time...you asked, what is the difference between this and abortion?! Come on! That was a really stupid question! And very disrespectful to the children of the killing fields! How can you ask such a stupid question like that? What is wrong with you?
it pains me to see these innocent children being sent to the gallows of death...im sure however, that the perpetrators who are still alive are slowly suffering the effects of their evil deeds...let them die slow deaths...like pinikpikan
Let's not forget about what white American in the past did to the Native-American and how they murder and try to kill off the Indian,and then subjected them to live on reservation. Came over here and stole their land from them. Now how American is that. Also don't forget how white-American stole black from their homeland Africa,and subjected them to slavery,then by lynching and murdering black people. Don't forgot how the white men rape our black women too.
i think what makes this worse is that its 1 closer to our time and 2 what they did to them and everything happening around them was far worse..... but not as bad as the nazis
I would like to find Pol Pot's grave and piss on it after drinking a six pack and then douse it with gasoline and set it on fire. I hope Pol Pot is getting it up the ass in hell because the chickenshit son of a bitch deserves it after the shit he pulled in Cambodia. And all I have to say to Haing Ngor and Dith Pran is I will see you on the other side.
i really loved the poem, the man sounded like eeyore from winne the pooh. my mom's whole entire family died in the rouge, about 9 brothers and sisters, and her parents. she's the last one, and im glad she has made it to america.
this happen to my family... i almost loss my dad he was soldier but my parents escaped with my older siblings. i am thankful for them wanting to leave...i love my family and sorry for those who lose anyone. i know they still think about it and they are sad
Thank you for this video. They will never be forgotten.And those who murdered these innocents will never stop voices in their heads...young voices saying : Why ?
Why do you react like this? Because something true is being exposed here? Communism has failed during Pot, Stalin, Lenin, Hitler. Many of us are also not kapitalist, nor Iraqi's and IF they were, there should be no reason to discriminate them. This would make hatred grow. Or do you allow hatred instead of the truth and compassion. I feel compassion for you, I hope you're happy. feel compassion for Cambodia too.
how can you blame "us Americans"There are Americans who protest the war,but we cant control it if the government decides to. If your country's government wanted to go to war there is nothing you could do about it.
I don't think that Americans deserving the blame is what was being said. I agree that we can't help every country, but there were things that we coukd have done to hepl out more.
Thousands Americans were killed on 9/11 and we lost 2 of our most important government buildings and had an airplane crash into another.Innocent people are being killed in Iraq.I feel compassion for them.But I do not feel compassion for those Iraqis who agree with what the suicide bombers did and would probably try it for themselves.America can't put up with terrorist attacks,it just invites other countries who hate us to try for themselves.
My mom said they forced them to do really hard labor. She said our family had to hide our identity and that we had to burn all our pictures and documents.
Wow! I am speechless. I still remember clearly every night for four years lying there on dirt floor in our shack worrying about if we are going to be next on the list cuz they usually come and take families in the middle of the night to execute. I was only 4
I know what happened in Cambodia was shocking, and the victims should never be forgotten, but when I visited the site of the Killing Fields I was moved by the childrens school next door...I was playtime and I as I walked around murder I heard children laughing and playing. To me it was a phoenix rising from the ashes. No we should never forget, but like the children in that playground...let us remember and learn!
I have a 5 year old and a two year old sons, sleeping peacefully and comfortably in their room. I cannot imagine anybody in the right of mind would do such evil to these innocent children. May their souls rest in peace.
This video did not just make me cry; it almost made me scream. I think of my own 2-year-old daughter, sleeping in her bed upstairs. How could one kill such a creature? What wicked brain can come up with that idea? How could the world know and not do anything? (I learned that the SAS even trained Khmer Rouge) How can one belive in humanity after this?
Thank you for this video. To me these are children, not just pictures. May they have peace now.
naw pol pot aint do nothing it was the people that work for him... they only used his name because he was the leader... he didnt kill these people it was the 3rd and 2nd brother which they are now in jail or dead or going to be put on trial...
...and keep the vicious circle running? Then we would be just the same, wouldn't we? But i must confess: i really can't think of a suitable punishment for these atrocities.
did my ppl have 2 live their live in hell??? we could of been something, but we just end up with a life from hell...it sicken me, because we dont spend any time in school to talk about my people!!! how a kingdom raise and fall... how many people lived life in hell...
I promis you i will forward this video to as many people i know, to make them aware of what has happened... many people in the Western world are so ignorant. The victims of the killing field will NOT be forgotten. Not by me, anyway!

is an over Population,God send some humans on Earth like hitler,pol pot,etc to reduce Population,to balance the nature.
in nature there is nothing EVIL,Lion also kill deer son to eat him,we also are animals,there is no good and evil,it is subjective.
there is nothing immoral in genocide,we should use there Bodies to make good,medicines and in farming.

What's done is done already. People should learn about the mistakes we made and correct them in the future.

Should, being the key word here. But this occurred in the 1970s. Can we really brush it off so easily?
cherrylipz35 3 years ago
I don't think anything in the past can be brushed off at all. It's the matter of overcoming it and changing the mindsets of others who have done this in the past. Sometimes, I am still surprised how much of my colleagues never heard of the genocide in Cambodia. The best we can do is help explain the causes and let the future prevent it. I cannot be angry for what happened before my life time, but I can learn from it and let others be aware of it. Such a tragedy that could've been avoided.

Yes...I believe its more left...Insane thinking of a one party of total control...Collective rights enforced for the common good is how they sell it...But as in all parties Its about power that leads to corruption...With one party with total control and a insane leader...MURDER INC..Its happens so much threw time...You just can't believe it when its in your life time..And to do it to their own people..I'm lucky to live in the U.S..But it could happen anywhere really..Evil is everywhere..

8 of these comments were so dumb you don't have to be ashamed of yourself and it is really sad that a bunch of these children died in this video a long time ago and we should have some sympathy for them because you don't know if they might be related to you and i feel so bad for them that they were treated that way it doesn't matter if there different religions they all died the same way.

Ask you're government why did they supply weapons and money to Terrorists in Aphganistan to kill Russians? if you're from the United States.
none of this is new. Its simply about the countries interests.
Matt482942 3 years ago
Sorry to dissapoint you Matt, in the early '80 I was only a little boy running around herding cattles in the rice field in Battambong, Cambodia. The US supply weapons and money to the Afganistan fighters to fight against another military super power is a bit different from the situation in cambodia. US, GB, Frence, Germany, China, and Singapore supply money and weapons through thailand to support khmer rouge to slaughtered unarmed civilians. Why the US have no regard for lives you tell me.
1Ronin187 3 years ago
""Why the US have no regard for lives you tell me.""
Well.......i dont really know why.
I find it interesting you call them Afhanistan fighters. in the 80s we called them freedom fighters, now their called terrorists. Saddam used our weapons to genoicde the Kurds, religious radicals still use old US rifles to kill each other.
i dont know why. its a weird world

Troubles: Sihanouk did not run off to China; he was ousted by the US government and installed Lon Nol in his place. Of all the characters that I've read, I think Sihanouk has more heart for what happen to us than of
the rest of them. Hold your judgement before you presume to much. Sihanouk wanted to step in again but Kissinger wouldn't allow him to.
He was put under house arrest after he came back from China after things went hay wire with Lon Nol leadership.

Sihanouk is the force behind mobilizing the Khmer Rouge. Yes, he was used by the Khmer Rouge. Yes, he is just as guilty as those top KR murderous thugs. It is shocking to know that countless Cambodian still trust him and forgive him. He and his KR gangs wouldn't stand a chance anywhere else in the world. Only in Cambodia.

The same with Rawanda. That happened not long ago and I learnt about it in the movie "Hotel Rawanda".

With all due respect Mr. Brenner, the Khmer Rouge was a left-wing, moaest, marxist organization, not a right-wing organization as you say in the video. But, as I said I respect very much what you've done here, thank you, may the children of the killing fields never be forgotten.

Let's not forget about what white American in the past did to the Native-American and how they murder and try to kill off the Indian,and then subjected them to live on reservation. Came over here and stole their land from them. Now how American is that. Also don't forget how white-American stole black from their homeland Africa,and subjected them to slavery,then by lynching and murdering black people. Don't forgot how the white men rape our black women too.

And all I have to say to Haing Ngor and Dith Pran is I will see you on the other side.

Why do you react like this? Because something true is being exposed here? Communism has failed during Pot, Stalin, Lenin, Hitler. Many of us are also not kapitalist, nor Iraqi's and IF they were, there should be no reason to discriminate them. This would make hatred grow. Or do you allow hatred instead of the truth and compassion. I feel compassion for you, I hope you're happy. feel compassion for Cambodia too.

I know what happened in Cambodia was shocking, and the victims should never be forgotten, but when I visited the site of the Killing Fields I was moved by the childrens school next door...I was playtime and I as I walked around murder I heard children laughing and playing. To me it was a phoenix rising from the ashes. No we should never forget, but like the children in that playground...let us remember and learn!
