An extremely powerful sense of reality hits you as you enter the gates around this location in Choeung Ek south of Phenom Phen. The magnitude of what took place on these grounds, the blood that was spilt and the cries that echoed from these grounds can't help but impact you with a great sorrow that as human beings we are capable of such acts against one another. Arguably one of the most vile human beings to ever reign over people was Pol Pot, a man who was never made to pay for his atrocities.
