Map of Cambodia filled up with skulls of victims of the Khmer Rouge regime. Genocide Museum Tuol Sleng, Phnom Penh.
The Documentation Center of Cambodia and the Cambodia Genocide Program of Yale University have undertaken extensive mapping of the 20,000 killing fields, mass graves and smaller burial pits that are spread over the country, including estimates of numbers of people killed. This has yielded overwhelming data. The estimated total number of people killed by the Khmer Rouge during their four year regime is around 2 million, out of a population of 8 million.
