Voices from S-21: Terror and History in Pol Pot’s Secret Prison

Chandler, David P. Voices from S-21: Terror and History in Pol Pot’s Secret Prison. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1999.

Why this matters here

Chandler documents Tuol Sleng (S-21) as a Khmer Rouge security prison that converted a school into interrogation, forced confession, photography, and annihilation, with killings largely at Choeung Ek. When Interpretation No Longer Matters brings that archive forward for the hardest case: what judgment can still do when the pathway back into repair has been institutionally destroyed.
