Imagine what kind of people would change a normal high school in Cambodia into a torture chamber. In 1976, The Communist Party of Cambodia does that and high school became s21 prison. This was the site of the Cambodian genocide. 14,000 people entered that torture center and only seven walked out.
Think about that for a moment, if you were brought here you had a 0.0005 percent chance or a one in 2,000 chance of leaving. It was literally insane and add to it they took photos of not just every single victim before death but then after death what happened here was genocide.
The place is now a museum to remember the 13,000993 people that died in that building. People that have visited it now say that the building is constantly riddled with the ghosts of the men women and children that were brutally tortured and murdered inside of the cells and classrooms of the prison.
