Document Summary
People were rounded up and taken to killing fields. The killing fields are set up as museums for tourism. People take off their shoes as they get close to look at it. Clothes were gathered from victims and used as testimony to the crime. First stop is the truck stops where trucks arrived with people to be executed. There weren"t enough guns, so people were clubbed to death. Storage room with chemicals used to decompose the bodies and cover up the smell from the bodies. The remains have come to the surface as a result of flooding. Music was blared so the cries of the victims could not be heard. Killing tree where children were slammed and killed. Interpretive center: explains what happened at the site and its significance. Ordinary tourist stuff is sold along with educational books.
