Portraits of Grief
Photograph by Gilles Peress, Magnum Photos
A girl examines photos of victims at Tuol Sleng, an infamous torture and execution center used by the Khmer Rouge in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Now a museum, Tuol Sleng stands as testament to the estimated 1.7 million Cambodians—one fifth of the population—who died under the brutal communist regime between 1975 and 1979. Despite reports of torture and mass murder, powerful nations stood by as the Khmer Rouge carved Cambodia apart.
