Genocide in Cambodia (1975-1979)

Under the communist dictatorship of Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge pitted the “ancient people” against the “new people”, who had ties to the previous regime and were to be destroyed, along with the ethnic and religious minorities. Between 1.7 and 2.2 million Cambodians were executed or worked to death or died of hunger or illness. (Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh.)

This event is taking place during the month of April, which is significant for the commemoration of the Cambodian Genocide, as April 17, 1975 marks the date that the Khmer Rouge entered Phnom Penh and forced residents to evacuate.
