An old school was converted by the Khmer Rouge, led by Pol Pot, into a torture and extermination camp. What remains are preserved holding cells, along with stories and pictures of the victims. Couple this with a visit to Choeung Ek, the burial place for the victims. Breakfast is probably best avoided.
Let a tuk-tuk or moto taxi driver take you to the two sites for around $5 per person. Toul Sleng is in the city centre, but Choeung Ek is miles out along hellish roads
