This memorial is on the site of a Khmer Rouge extermination camp where almost 9,000 bodies were exhumed from mass graves after the fall of the regime. The real number of victims is estimated to be twice as many, as the dead were not exhumed from all the graves discovered. The centerpiece of the memorial is a solitary stupa in which the bones of the dead are displayed along with many personal possessions buried with them.
