S21 and Killing Fields
It is hard to imagine that after walking through S21, the prison that executed about 20,000 Khmer soldiers and women and children during the Khmer Rogue regime (1974-1979) that Pol Pot was never brought to justice. Sareth tells me that there are so many in power now who were a part of the atrocities that there would be no way to bring people to justice. The only one who has been sent to prison is the general who accepted Christ and confessed to his crimes. It makes me think about what is really looks like to take up your cross and follow Jesus. For this man took up Jesus and also took on judgment. But he is probably the only one who is free among them all.
