Abstract

The chapter seeks to shed light on an under-explored aspect of the history of the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum by discussing materials which have been, so far, little studied, namely the visitor book entries written by Polish visitors in the first months of the museum’s existence as well as first-hand accounts of visits to the site in books published in Poland in the early 1980s. On this basis, the chapter asks the following questions: What was the mental and ideological framework of references through which Polish visitors perceived and interpreted the atrocities committed by the Khmer Rouges? How did they relate the Cambodian experience to Polish historical experiences (mainly, the Nazi occupation and the Holocaust)? Finally, could references to Polish history be seen as a way of constructing solidarity and empathy with the victims of the Khmer Rouge dictatorship? It can be argued that the shared experience of terror and suffering went beyond the rhetoric of political solidarity and expressed a real emotional connection on the part of the Polish authors.
