Close-up of the Front of the Memorial Stupa at Choeung Ek Killing Fields

Cambodia

This is a peek inside the memorial I posted earlier. It shows some of the more than 5000 skulls that are arranged inside on wooden shelves.
The remains of almost 10,000 people were exhumed in 1980 from mass graves in this one-time orchard; There are still about 43 communal graves here that have remained untouched.

A somber scene and stark reminder of how inhuman we humans can be.

a visceral and haunting scene...the brutality of the Khymer Rouge was appalling..
