Description
A young boy peers up at the hole in the roof of a Buddhist meditation cave through which the Khmer Rouge dumped executed bodies during the genocide of the Pol Pot regime. A huge collection of skeletal remains and clothing were discovered in the cave, which previously had been used for centuries as a place of rest and contemplation, and which is located on a hill next to the resurrected Turtle Wat community on the road from Battambang to the Khmer Rouge stronghold of Pailin.
