Organization
No genocide happens spontaneously. The Khmer Rouge was as organized as any of the culprits of genocide.
First they evacuated Phnom Penh
Then they distributed the old people and the new people into work collectives. The old people were the peasant class if they survived.
The next thing they did was separate families
They then separated the children and adults
After that they processed city dwellers and made them provide autobiographies so they could document their class background.
The last step was documentations and photos of prisoners at Tuol Sleng
