- Synopsis
- Between 1975 and 1979, the Khmer Rouge genocide claimed an estimated 1.7 million lives. Survivors faced starvation, torture, and dangerous journeys through mountainous and mine-filled jungles. Upon arriving at refugee camps, they faced uncertainty and hardship before eventually moving to the USA where they struggled to adapt to urban life. This book tells the survival stories of seven Cambodians who endured the Khmer Rouge Genocide, their escape to Thailand, and their difficult resettlement in the United States. It is a collection of first-person oral histories, supplemented by images of documents and photographs, highlighting journeys of resilience, survival, and adaptation amidst profound trauma.
