 "It is important for me that the new generation of Cambodians and
Cambodian Americans become active and tell the world what happened
to them and their families ... I want them never to forget the faces of

their relatives and friends who were killed during that time. The dead
are crying out for justice.“ Dith Pran
 CAMBODIAN GENOCIDE

 Lasting for four years (between 1975 and 1979), the Cambodian
Genocide was an explosion of mass violence that saw between 1.5 and
3 million people killed at the hands of the Khmer Rouge, a communist
political group. 
 Cambodia before the Genocide

 The Cambodian monarchy
promoted a strong sense of
nationalism and loyalty to the
government, but was also seen as
corrupt and ineffectual. 
 The majority of Cambodians toiled
on farms in the rural communities.
This obvious division of class
made Cambodia especially
susceptible to revolution.

 The Cambodian Genocide

 Whole families died from execution, starvation, disease and overwork.


 Many people were also take to Tuol Sleng Prison. It is estimated that 20,000
people were imprisoned at Tuol Sleng, where they were tortured for information,
and then killed.
 The Khmer Rouge targeted anyone suspected of having connections to the former
Cambodian government or other foreign governments.
 The Cambodian
Genocide Today

The Cambodian Genocide

continues to play a role in
Cambodia today, the country still
has difficulty addressing the
crimes of its past.

After the Vietnamese had taken

power in 1979, many leaders had
been tried in absentia, but were
never formally punished.
