Our guide at Tuol Sleng was herself a victim of the Khmer Rouge. She was 10 years old in 1975 when the Khmer Rouge took over. She and her family were, like all residents of Phnom Penh, forced to leave the city, which remained empty for 45 months. Her family fled to Vietnam. Before they could reach the border, three members of her family were killed (including her father). In this picture, she was showing us on the map what route they took when they fled.
