Khiev Choun
I cooked for the cadres, and my neighbors. They took my husband away; I could not help him. I saw the Khmer Rouge took monks away for execution. I'd like to advise the younger generations to seek justice and help each other.
Sam Chhun Hieng
I faced a lot of difficulties during the Khmer Rouge regime. They forced me to overwork. Children were separated from their parents. Husbands were separated from wives. I want to remind the young generation: Please be vigilant! Prevent this regime from ever happening again!
Pen Sorn
During Pol Pot, we all suffered like the turtle in the shell because that regime was very cruel. I urge the youth: Please be united and protect our nation!
Peou Lim
During the Khmer Rouge regime, I was a child. I lived a miserable life. I was tortured; my parents and relatives were killed brutally. So, I want the youth to remember. Please don't let this regime occur again!
Chea Dieb
During the Khmer Rouge regime, I was suffering, starving, and sick without medicine. The new generation must learn and use that knowledge to protect our nation. This will prevent Cambodia from falling under a regime like the Khmer Rouge again.
Khut Voeun
During Khmer Rouge regime they forced me to work so hard. Porridge made from a can of rice had to provide for ten people. I am grateful to the liberators who helped us out of that dark era.
Kly Sen
By living through the Khmer Rouge regime, I have the unforgettable and painful memory of losing two of my uncles. Nowadays, we have to be united and prevent any action that can divide our nation. We all need to have civil courage.
Buoy Laiheng
The youth should know that during the Khmer Rouge regime we were starved. We got no treatment if sick. We were forced to work without being cared for. Today's youngsters have to be united. Stand up to prevent the regime from happening once again!
Sou Sotheavy
1975! On 17th May, the Khmer Rouge forced me to leave Phnom Penh. I stayed in my home village for 15 days. Then, I had to move for the second time. In 1978, I was relocated from Takeo Province to Kampong Speu. I was imprisoned. I endured hunger and forced labor. The cadres even forced me to marry (a woman).
Phan Yin
During Khmer Rouge, I was 16-years-old. I worked in a mobile unit. I carried soil; we were forced to work even when we were sick. The regime forced me to get married even if we didn't love each other. We were separated after the marriage. I would like to tell the new generations that what happened under Khmer Rouge regime was all true; this is not a folktale. I want the youth to study hard and love one another. You must develop our country and educate yourselves about Pol Pot to prevent the cruel history from repeating itself.
Prum Yuon
During the Pol Pot regime from 1975, I was forced to work too hard without enough food. Moreover, my relatives were accused of betraying "Angkar" (the leadership). All family members were killed. This is the pain that I will never ever forget. Please don't take that regime as an example.
Yim Yan
Pol Pot regime killed innocent people without mercy. Pol Pot's subordinates took my sibling to be killed. Those who were sent for reeducation never returned - meant death. Want the next generations to remember, be solidary, and prevent such regime from recurrence.
Preap Sokhoeurn
Under Pol Pot I suffered severely from torture and starvation. Furthermore, I was forced to get married with a man whom I had never seen before. The pain in the "3-year-8-month-20-day" regime is unforgettable. Please don't let that happen again.
Touch Mean
Children aged 16 were forced to do hard labor such as carrying heavy loads of soil, digging dams or canals. They couldn't get access to any education. They were tortured. One day, Khmer Rouge cadres detained me in a natural fertilizer stock room accusing me of being lazy during working hours. They said to me "to keep is no benefit, to destroy is no loss". During the period of detention, I was starved. I was detained until I was very thin, then was I released. I want to tell this true story to the new generations. I want them to love each other unlike what happened during the Khmer Rouge Regime
Hak Rong
From 1975 to 1979 I was forced to work day and night. I was starved. My family was killed cruelly after being accused of betraying "Angkar" (the leadership). I want to advise younger generations not to take the leaders of that regime as role models. It can lead to the destruction of our country.
Sorn Ath
From 1975 to 1979, I lived under a genocidal regime. I was forced to work so hard digging canals, dams - day and night - without enough food to eat. They even accused my brother of being a gangster, and killed him cruelly. I would like to advise the younger generations not to wish for such murderous leaders.
Ras Lim
During Pol Pot regime, I worked as the rice pounder, pig feeder, and babysitter. Honestly speaking, I survived because of pigs' food; it still wasn't enough based on what we were given. My house was destroyed; I lived under a tree with my four children and worked. I want youth to study hard and prevent that regime from happening again.
Ngov Nha
In 1975, I met soldiers transferred from Phnom Penh to my hometown in "Kbal Domrei Ler" village. I lived there for about one year and was told to leave to another cooperative in Battambang province. I was forced to work too hard; my husband was sick and taken to a hospital in Moung district, and was injected to death. I would like to advise the young generations not to wish for the "black clothes era". That was Cambodia's darkest age.
Chheang Kea
The Pol Pot regime made me suffer an unforgettable painful memory. I was separated from my family. I had seven siblings. My younger brother was sent to be a Khmer Rouge soldier. He was killed. My other siblings were sent to be in the mobile unit, while I was working for the Khmer Rouge administration. Later, I was imprisoned in "15 Koh Thmey" prison. I want the younger generations to learn more about this dark age of Cambodian history.
Seng Sivutha
I was tortured by Khmer Rouge soldiers even though I was just a child aged 9 to 11 years old. I was forced to carry soil without being given enough food to eat until I became very weak. I was beaten with a yoke. This made me blind. Thus, the younger generations have to believe what happened under this regime. Please don't follow in the Khmer Rouge footsteps!
Soeu Ry
I dared not to stand up against Pol Pot because I was afraid of getting killed. I think "The Courageous Turtle" play teaches me how to stand up, resist and express my opinions. We should not follow the proverb "Die like a snake, live like a frog". Younger generations should love each other and study hard to develop our country. Don't let this regime return.
Duong Chanthy
A Khmer Rouge commander ordered me to arrest a man who was accused of being a Vietnamese spy, but I secretly told him to escape. And I also helped hide and plead them to free him.
Va Rim
Under Pol Pot, I worked in a cooperative. I did everything including carrying soil, transplanting rice, pulling out seedlings. I didn't have enough to eat. No days off, even no medicine when getting sick. I want the younger generations to know clearly about this regime and remember this painful tragedy. Pray for it not to happen again!
Ros Sam At
Under Pol Pot, I tried to survive. I tried to complete the work according to the leadership's plan without daring to protest or go against them for surviving. I helped others by telling them not to tell the Khmer Rouge about their occupations during the previous Lon Nol regime. Accidentally, I met a man who was arrested. I whispered to him, "don't talk, be deaf
Um Han
I got very much suffering. The Khmer Rouge gave me insufficient food to eat. My husband and two children died. I worked very hard under rain and sunshine. Tell the young generations to not break up the solidarity of the Khmer people.
Kim Seng
The unforgettable story during Pol Pot regime was the brutal acts that murdered people across the country including my relatives, so it caused me very much suffering. Suggest the Khmer next generations who were not born in that regime to help preserving peace. I wish you all to have wisdom.
Maung Ret
I helped one of my cousins escape from "Po Barey" prison to Vietnam. I think I was like a turtle in the shell during the Khmer Rouge; I dared not to say anything. I have some messages for our youth: Stand up, be brave and don't let this regime come back!
Phoen Saleap
Back then, I dared not to stand up against the "3-year-8-month regime". I was afraid of being killed like my brother. I think it is good to perform this theatre play which makes me understand the benefits of civil courage. I must help others if there's any issue. I'd like to advise the next generations to gain more knowledge and study hard to help our society. Please respect the law!
Pen Sochan
During Pol Pot, we tried to help each other as best as we could. This play educates the youth to help each other and to change from fear to braveness. Especially, it helps the next generations to understand more about the Khmer Rouge regime. I'd like to advise students to keep their attitudes intact and help each other.
Khat Sat
I had never helped anyone because I couldn't even help myself. The cadres mistreated us. We couldn't bear it, but we did not dare to stand up. Nowadays, our children have to choose a different path. I'd advise them to be strong.
Korng Chol
I was scared to make mistakes, so if I knew something, I dared not to speak out. They took my husband and older brother to be executed. Suggest the next generations to help each other, study hard, and do not let such brutal killing happen again.
Chhim Oeun
I never stood up against anyone because I was afraid of getting killed. At that time, we were like turtles. Even there were a hundred of us, we wouldn't dare go against the cadres. I'd like to advise youth to take a stand and help each other.
Sok At
In the Pol Pot regime, I dared not to fight against the rulers because I was afraid of getting killed. I think "The Courageous Turtle" theatre play has taught me to stand up and defend myself and others from ferocious acts. Young generations, please do not follow the role model of the Khmer Rouge!
Uth Sieng Un
The Khmer Rouge regime was cruel. They starved us. They did not give treatment to the sick. The next generations should love each other. Civil courage will help our country grow
Mith That
In 1975, I raised my voice and escaped from bullets. I think the play reminds me of the painful and unforgettable period of that time. I'd like to advise the younger generations to study hard.
Sorn Hong Leang
Pol Pot forced me to get married with 50 pairs by leaving five children, forced me to carry soil, and deprived me of food. After the Pol Pot regime, my family was separated. Tell the young generations to learn to understand about the suffering of the Khmer Rouge regime, and efforts to make country flourish.
Uch Sunlay
If you want your country to develop, you must study and work hard. You must be patient and forgiving. You must try to improve your personality. A tree provides shade even to its enemy. So humans should do good deeds on every single day, for the rest of their lives.
Pin Vann
During the Khmer Rouge regime, I was like a turtle in the shell because that regime was so savage. I think if we had fought back, we would have been killed. Therefore, I'd like to advise the next generations to stand up and defend each other for the prosperity of our people to help our country.
Cheap Lorn
I did whatever to survive; I dared not to fight back. If I had, I would have disappeared. The theatre play depicts life under the Pol Pot regime; we all were like the turtles in the shell. I'd like to advise the young generations to love each other and stand up to fight unlike what happened in this regime.
Yim Huon
I helped people during the evacuation from Phnom Penh by providing food. During the Khmer Rouge regime, the turtles were in the shell. Nowadays, the courageous turtles stick out their heads. They unite and exchange opinions. I'd like to advise the younger generations to try to understand more about the Khmer Rouge. It was so unbearable. Don't let the Khmer Rouge return!
Seng Seap
During the Khmer Rouge regime, for the period of 3 years, 8 months and 20 days, from 17 April 1975 to 6 January 1979, they tortured us and starved us. They forced us to do hard labor in a prison without walls. It came to the point where they killed their own people. We tried to stand up, but failed. This play reminds me of my own past. Young generations, please study hard, don't use drugs and violence which are banned by the law and society.
Sam Sitha
I never helped anyone during the Khmer Rouge regime. I was like the turtle in the shell. At this time, we had no knowledge, no individual freedom, no rights. There wasn't a court. There were no lawyers to file complaints. I'd like to advise the next younger generations to focus on their history studies.
Sok Hean
The Khmer Rouge regime came to power in 1975. That regime was so brutal. The cadres persecuted us. They wanted to kill us through imprisonment, starvation, forced labor and execution. I advise youth not to do bad things and try to resolve conflicts peacefully. For example, this theatre play shows how one of the characters becomes the witness to a traffic accident. Youth must study hard and do good deeds for our country. Don't let this genocidal regime happen again!
Pen Chann
In a meeting, I used to help my relatives from being falsely accused by Pol Pot. It is good that there is such a play being performed, which provides good messages to the next generations. I want the younger generations to stand up and help each other. Be united for the improvement of Cambodia!
Mel Sim
Under Khmer Rouge control, living conditions were miserable. They forced us to do hard labor, starved us, gave us no treatment. They were very cruel. I address the new generation: Please stand up and prevent this from happening again!
Prak Yeun
In the Khmer Rouge regime, I did fight back. About the play performed just now, I think the turtle was like us living in the regime. I want the younger generations to understand and know about the Khmer Rouge regime, and not follow in their footsteps.
Yan Ra
I never dared to stand up against the Khmer Rouge because I was afraid of getting killed. At that time, we were like the turtle; even there were a lot of us, none of us dared to do anything. I'd like to advise the younger generations to stand up, be united and help each other.
Mer Pov
The Pol Pot regime lasted for 3 years 8 months and 20 days. During that regime, the Khmer Rouge closed all schools and starved us. They tortured us cruelly. They forced us to work nonstop.
Buoy Soutry
The pain which we got from the Khmer Rouge regime was unforgettable. They were very cruel. Members of the young generations should work together to help the country and prevent this regime from happening again.
Kun Sovathana
From 1975 to 1979 Cambodia was the "People's Republic of Kampuchea". Pol Pot was its leader, supported by many other Cambodian officials. Our country faced a big tragedy under this regime. The Khmer Rouge tortured me and my family. They killed my mother, father and five siblings. 23 members of my family were killed in Stung district, Kampong Thom Province. Youth should study hard, love other Cambodians and work together for the bright future of our country.
Mat Khaches
During the Khmer Rouge regime, the Khmer Rouge treated the Khmer Islam minority terribly. They didn't let us follow the teachings of our prophet Mohammad. They didn't let us practice our religion or perform our rituals.
Horn Thol
I am hurt. I can never forget the fact that the Khmer Rouge tortured our people and killed them cruelly. The new generations shall stand up and work together for our country.
Saing Sor
I still feel pain. I can never forget that during the Khmer Rouge regime they forced us to overwork. They didn't let the mothers meet their kids. They didn't let the siblings meet each other. The new generations shall never forget that. Youth must prevent this regime from happening again!
Nov Thun
During the "People's Republic of Kampuchea", the cadres forced the people out of Phnom Penh. On the way, they shot many people to break the others mentally. They forced the people to work until they collapsed. They banned religion. They forced people to get married. They forced the families to live separately. Youth had to work in mobile units without enough food, clothes or medicine.
Ok Phaleil
In the Khmer Rouge regime, from 1975, Pol Pot ordered killings and destruction. The Khmer Rouge gave no food, imprisoned people, tied them with chains and tortured them. They killed my parents, my sister and my little brother on 30 May 1975. They tied my brother in front of me. They turned humans into animals or into ghosts. New generations should prevent this from happening again.
Kim Sean
In the Pol Pot regime, I was forced to do hard labor. I was not given enough food. Just after I gave birth to my child, for 15 days, they forced me to work. I became very thin. I was nothing but skin and bones.
Chhin Navy
The Khmer Rouge Regime killed all intellectuals, civil servants, businessmen or forward thinkers. Following Pol Pot's theory, they wanted to purify the society. I wish that from now on Cambodians must understand what's right and wrong. Think carefully before you act and do only the right thing!
Oum Sophany
What do the new generations know about the Pol Pot regime? You will find out the reality from the older generations who had lived through that regime. They knew not only the hunger of freedom but also the needs of food.
Moeung Maong
During the Khmer Rouge regime, the Khmer Rouge forced us to work very hard without enough food to eat. We were very skinny. The cadres killed millions of people. Why did Cambodians kill other Cambodians? During that regime we didn't know where the Khmer Rouge came from or who they really were. My brother-in-law, my uncle and my cousin were killed. I wish that ECCC is bringing justice to the victims of this regime.
Cheng Pun
Day after day, I lived in fear. In 1977, the Khmer Rouge called my husband to be reeducated and then lost his information. Advise the next generations to prevent such regime from happening again.
Prak Thon
Performing arts under Khmer Rouge were different from what had we known. They did not use any instruments besides drums. It was all about propaganda songs. These songs were meant to ensure loyalty towards the regime.
Phath Toch
The education in Khmer Rouge period was almost none. Almost everyone could not read. I suggest to the next Cambodian generations, please put more passion in learning and get away from any actions that could create the dark era like that regime which people were blinded by anger, knew nothing besides digging canals, and committing violence.
Sen Roeurn
I got so much suffering because the Khmer Rouge killed my two brothers and six children. I want to tell the next generation to prevent this oppressive regime from recurrence.
Saom BunChhoeun
The story that happened during the Khmer Rouge regime was miserable, they killed people. Like my own story, I was accused to be a Lon Nol soldier and then was brought for interrogation. They threatened me to answer their question even though I did nothing, they kicked me injustifiably. I want the next generations to learn to be united, have morality, learn to understand about the Khmer Rouge regime, and avoid it happening again.
Chhon Kun
In 1976, eight of my family members were taken for execution by the Khmer Rouge because they were accused of being traitors of Angkar. At that time, they brought me, who was a child of traitors, and tied and chained me, and let the mosquitos bite me for three days, and offered me food only twice. I suggest all children to struggle, study hard our history, and do not let it happen again.
Chieb Yet
During 1976-1977, my husband and 10 relatives were taken for execution by the Khmer Rouge, because they were soldiers of King Sihanouk. I advise the next generations not to act the same as the Khmer Rouge regime.
Phoeun Saran
In the Khmer Rouge era, I was wrongly accused and imprisoned. I was starved. I was forced to do hard labor such as carrying soil and rice sacks. I was provided less food and was so thin.
Torm Chas
In 1975, I had three children and was evacuated from Pursat province to work. They ordered me to dig a canal and close the dam for two years. I was separated from my children and husband. When I returned my three children had died and my husband was taken for execution. Then, they sent me to build a dam, and to harvest rice during the dry season. They deprived me of food for one day. We unite to prevent the Khmer Rouge regime from recurrence. The youth please help to publicize it.
Chieb Yon
In 1975, the Khmer Rouge brought my husband to be killed. Leaving two children and I became a widow. I want to tell the young generations to learn and understand about the Khmer Rouge era, and must struggle for the nation.
Ty Soeurn
Living in the mobile unit with 200 other children was the most difficult for a 10-year-old girl like me. I was forced to live separately from my parents and did hard labor - much harder than the kids could do. I did not eat enough. I was surrounded by fear and suspicion.
Khov Net
The Khmer Rouge regime was a "thousand eyes regime" that spied on all of us. The cadres forced me to get married. When the night came, they checked on us to ensure whether we consummated the marriage or not. When I was sick, they reported that I was lazy and almost killed me. Living that life, I had to be on alert all the time.
Morm Thear
The Khmer Rouge regime was a "thousand eyes regime" that spied on all of us. The cadres forced me to get married. When the night came, they checked on us to ensure whether we consummated the marriage or not. When I was sick, they reported that I was lazy and almost killed me. Living that life, I had to be on alert all the time.
Nut Moul
When I saw the mass graves for the first time at the age of 10, this horrible picture is stuck in my mind. I cannot erase it. I do not want Cambodian youth to see what I saw. I can still hear the screams of those who were tortured and killed. I am suffering from severe trauma.
Hing Phon
I want the young generations to know how miserable it was during the Khmer Rouge regime. I was forced to carry soil, build dams, harvest rice without time to rest. They limited to mill 14 Tao of rice per day. I advise the next generations learn to struggle, have solidarity, do not act the same as during the Khmer Rouge era.
Lang Toem
During the Khmer Rouge regime, I was a child who was forced to overwork and was offered inadequate food to eat. I lost my uncle who was sent to be killed in the Boueng Cheug Ek area. I suggest the next Khmer generations to study hard, have morality towards the nation, and as well as to prevent the Khmer Rouge regime from recurrence.
In Veng
During the Khmer Rouge regime, my father was taken for execution because he was accused of betraying Angkar, and my younger brother was tortured by forcing to plunge his hand into a lamp that was lit up. Whereas my older brother was mistreated in prison and starved to death. Finally, I want to advise the youth as well as the next Khmer generations to know about the suffering during the Khmer Rouge regime and do not let this regime happen again. We must be united and have solidarity.
Mom Vun
The Khmer Rouge national anthem had a beautiful melody, but the lyrics instigated violence. It spoke about killing and destruction. This was different from the previous anthem, which was full of joy and happiness. Theirs was all about fakery and outrageous lies.
Nou Seam
In the Khmer Rouge regime, I was forced to carry 2 cubic meters of soil every day. I was starved and forced to work nonstop. I didn't have a chance to see my parents. I had no proper place to stay
Tep Som Un
In 1975, my brother, who was a monk, was forced to leave monkhood and sent to work in mobile unit. All the pagodas were changed to warehouses, prisons or hospitals. All Buddha statues in my village were destroyed. Remaining pieces were used to build roads. Religion was banned.
Chan Pha
I want the next generations to know about my suffering through the Khmer Rouge regime - for example I was forced to carry soil, dig canals, transplant rice, I was offered only three gram of rice per day to eat, I was not allowed to meet my parents and siblings. Not only that, my younger sister was sent to be killed at Tuol Sleng prison. I suggest the next generations to do whatever it takes to prevent the Pol Pot regime from recurrence because it was a brutal regime. I want the young generations to know about the Pol Pot regime, learn to wake up, be solidary, and study hard.
Nhok Pyol
In the Khmer Rouge regime, I never dared to stand up against the rulers. I understand that the turtle from the play is very brave, like today's young generations who dare to struggle and fight back. I want the youth to be united. You must study hard, unlike under Pol Pot where children were not able to get any education.
Yim Kimly
Two of my siblings were taken by bus to be killed. My sister-in-law was executed during her pregnancy and the entire family of my aunt was murdered as well. The Khmer Rouge offered a small portion of corn and ordered you to work beyond strengths. I suggest the next generations to help the country keeping peace and not let war happen again.
Lay Pharom
In the Khmer Rouge regime, I dared not to protect strangers; I only protected myself and my siblings when they took my father away. I think this play has good meaning; it teaches us to work hard to prevent the Pol Pot regime from recurring. I'd want to advise the next generations to try to develop the nation, unlike the previous regime.
Chhan Lun
The Pol Pot regime didn't give us anything to eat. They forced us to work day and night. Mothers were separated from their kids. The new generation must know how difficult our lives were. They must learn more about the Khmer Rouge regime
Orn Lyheng
During the Pol Pot regime, I was 7-month pregnant and was ordered to paddle the water wheel, carry cow dung, and got nothing to eat. They gave me one ladle of porridge mixed with corn. Six months after delivering my baby, my husband was brought to be killed. A half month later, they prepared to bring me for execution with 20 other people, but then they released me to go back without reason. Advise the young generations to understand about the Pol Pot regime, it was very miserable.
Yann Touy
During the Pol Pot regime, they forced our parents to get married, starved us and if we did something inappropriate they would kill us. Khmer people should never forget about this past.
Meas Saran
During the Pol Pot regime, I only protected myself, never dared to protect others because I was scared. This theatre project is good. It makes us understand why it is important to be courageous. I would like to advise youth to be courageous, united and prevent Pol Pot regime from happening again.
Chan Yon
I was in a mobile unit. My parents and my siblings were killed by the Khmer Rouge. I begged the cadres not to kill them but they didn't listen. I would like to tell the new generations that they should not forget about this regime.
Phlong Hean
I worked in the rice field and on a potato farm. I had a house. Khmer Rouge cadres dismantled and smashed it in order to create a rice barn. They executed my husband while I was 6-months pregnant. I suffered a lot but dared not to stand up against them because I was so scared. I will never forget what happened.
Chav Lang
The new generations should know how difficult their parents' lives were in the Khmer Rouge era, so please don't ever let it happen again.
Liv Kuyny
The Khmer Rouge committed a massacre. So, we would like to encourage the next Khmer generations to work as one in order to fight against the legacy of this dark and dirty regime.
Yi Sokhun
During the Pol Pot regime, my suffering was that they forced me to be cow and to plow in the rice field, they hit me the same as animals, and deprived me of food. Message the youth is that must study on the history of Khmer Rouge, help educating the youth to join in social work.
Um Yun
During the Khmer Rouge regime, I carried my daughter to work. I was forced to work even when I was carrying my child. I'd like to advise the next generations to be courageous to help our nation.
Chhim Vanna
The Pol Pot regime was very cruel. The cadres killed and starved people. They forced children and old people to work very hard. In short, all the people who lived in Cambodia at that time were mistreated. So the new generations shall try to save the country from falling under that regime again.
Yay Huoy
I am from from Koh Thom district. I suffered painfully because I was forced to work very hard, and was starved. Therefore, I would like to advise the young generations not to follow in the footsteps of the Khmer Rouge regime.
Uch Pet
I am from Poban commune, Koh Thom district. From 1975 to 1979, I suffered because I was forced to work really hard and wasn't well-fed. My siblings were killed cruelly by the Khmer Rouge. Thus, I would advise the young generations not to replicate that uncivilized regime.
Mao Thol
I was forced to work really hard, was starved, was threatened and beaten with a bat and a piece of metal which broke my index finger. I advise the younger generations not to take the Khmer Rouge regime as an example.
Som Chann
Life under the Khmer Rouge regime was very painful such as 10 of my siblings, nieces and nephews were killed. I was arrested and detained for two months in prison. They beat me and I got a head injury and a broken leg, which made me a disabled person. Finally, I filed a complaint with the Khmer Rouge tribunal to find justice and to not let the next generation imitate it.
Neang Sakhan
As a victim under the Khmer Rouge regime, I suffered evacuating from Phnom Penh, being tortured both physically and mentally, starving, forced to work, being separated from my parents and siblings, witnessed unjust killings, prohibited from all kinds of rights and freedom, elimination of religion…etc. I advise the next generations to learn clearly the history and to unite courageously and fairly, in order to prevent 3 year-8 month- 20 day regime from recurrence.
Sorn Maly
In the Pol Pot regime, I suffered physically and mentally. I was separated from my family, was starved; there was no freedom of speech at all. Please don't let this regime happen again in our country!
