In the tangled wilderness of Cambodia, a brutal chapter of human history unfolded during the reign of the Khmer Rouge. Led by Pol Pot, this communist regime embarked on a genocidal mission that shattered the lives of countless Cambodians. From 1975 to 1979, the regime systematically executed, starved, and worked to death an estimated 1.7 million people, leaving a trail of death and destruction that shocked the world. The horrors of the Cambodian genocide, often referred to as the "Killing Fields," serve as a stark reminder of the depths of human depravity and the urgent need to prevent such atrocities from happening again.
