Pocas ciudades han soportado tantas tragedias en su pasado reciente como Phnom Penh. Este viaje emocional de medio día te lleva a algunos de los lugares más estrechamente asociados con el capítulo más oscuro en la historia de Camboya. Habrá desgarradores momentos que detallan algunos de los crímenes incalificables que sufrió la gente común durante los cuatro años de reinado de terror de los jemeres rojos.
El tour comienza donde todo empezó, cuando visitemos el lugar donde los periodistas acampaban en 1975 en la víspera de la toma de posesión del Khmer Rouge. Verás un edificio que ha quedado calcinado y agujereado por las balas tal y como quedó tras la guerra.
A continuación nos enfrentaremos al sangriento pasado de Camboya con una visita guiada por el Museo del Genocidio Tuol Sleng. Esta antigua escuela sirvió como centro de torturas de los jemeres rojos, y es un doloroso recordatorio de la brutalidad de lo ocurrido en este país empobrecido. Luego nos dirigiremos fuera de la ciudad, al Memorial Choueng, donde una pagoda compuesta de miles de cráneos humanos marca el sitio de uno de los notorios campos de asesinato. Este impactante memorial recuerda la inhumanidad del régimen de los jemeres rojos. La magnitud del derramamiento de sangre que cayó sobre Phnom Penh queda patente por el hecho de que su población se redujo de 370.000 a 32.000 personas durante esta pesadilla totalitaria.
