The Khmer Rouge's brutal regime in Cambodia from 1975 to 1979 resulted in the deaths of up to 1.7 million people due to famine, forced labor, and murder. The communist-inspired group forcibly relocated the urban population to the countryside, attempting to create an agrarian utopia. The Security Prison 21, now the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, was a former high school where prisoners, including painter Vann Nath, were held and tortured.
