I was overcome with a panic attack when I tried to tour the Holocaust Museum in DC some years ago, so I wasn't sure I could handle this. Maybe because the school plan is so open (yes, the building was orginally a school) I was better able to breath. If you don't know the story of Pol Pot and his evil plans you owe it to yourself to see this place if only to be determined to keep such things from happening again. A very moving visit which should always be followed by a visit to the nearby Killing Fields.
