Finally gave in and went to the Tuol Seng museum. This is the school that was converted into a torture/interrogation facility by the Khmer Rouge between 1975-79. It's beyond grim and I'll leave the descriptions about the Khmer Rouge and S21(the offical name for Tuol Seng) to David Chadler and his excellent article, "Killing Fields".
After a nice lunch with CK, my moto driver, we went to the Killing Fields, where the bodies were buried. Nowadays it is a pleasant green field with some ditches showing the uncovered burial grounds of the murdered and a large monument. After Tuol Seng, it was shocking, but nowhere near as bad.
