Problems in Cambodia 1975: Communist rebels- Khmer Rouge – set up a communist regime- brutal, violent Leader: Pol Pot Goal: transform Cambodia into a rural agrarian society How: relocates people- forceful marches out of cities to the country side 2 million people are slaughtered during the “transformation” to “Year Zero” 1978- Vietnam invades and overthrows the Khmer Rouge- a less repressive government is installed
The enormity of what Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge party did in the latter half of the 1970s defies hyperbole. The only word for it: genocide. The death toll: certainly more than a million, perhaps twice that amount. Among the first evidence of the horror, this "killing field" was uncovered in 1980. The Legacy of Pol Pot
One of the purveyors of massacre was the Khmer Rouge secret police, which turned this Phnom Penh high school into its headquarters, renamed S-21. Thousands were tortured and executed in former classrooms.
The school has now been refashioned into the Tuol Sleng Museum of Genocide. Thousands of pictures of Khmer Rouge victims hang on its walls: men, women and children -- including this unidentified girl and the people in the photos that follow -- who were duly photographed, then tortured and killed.
The name Khmer Rouge, which means "Red Khmers," was given to a left-wing Cambodian faction in the 1950s. Led by Pol Pot, it gained control of Cambodia in 1975. And then began one of the century's greatest massacres
Pol Pot declared "Year Zero" and began a radical program to create an idealized agrarian communist society. He crushed social institutions such as banking and religion and emptied cities of their inhabitants
Intellectuals and anyone else seen as standing in the way of the new social order were mercilessly killed, while many of those who escaped execution died from overwork and starvation
The Khmer Rouge was ousted from power by a Vietnamese invasion in 1979 The Khmer Rouge was ousted from power by a Vietnamese invasion in 1979. But it had already caused the deaths of between 1.5 million and 2 million people, according to Western estimates. Many victims, such as this unknown woman, may never be identified.
Tou Sleng prison in Phnom Penh, Cambodia It is now a museum that recounts the brutal rule of the Khmer Rouge. A self portrait of Vann Nath in a tiny cell in the prison.
Guards took babies and young children from their mothers.
Guards used hot pliers to torture victims.
