Between 1975 and 1978 about 17,000 men, women, children and infants were brought to the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek to be executed. Most were bludgeoned to death to save bullets. The remains of approximately 8,985 people were exhumed in 1980 from mass graves. Pictured are a couple of the marked mass graves in the area, one containing 450 people and another containing 100 headless bodies. Also pictured are unmarked communal graves.
