Between 1.5 million and 2 million Cambodians were killed by this regime through systematic purges. massacres. and random executions. The Cambodian Government under the Khmer Rouge denied their citizens the basic human right to exist. The 52photograph exhibit features pictures of shrines sacked by the Government. human skulls stacked to the ceiling of an abandoned warehouse. and mass burial pits on the edge of a jungle. Am Chorn. a 17yearold Cambodian refugee. addressed the meeting. Chorn had seen his father killed by Khmer Rouge soliders and lived for several years in one of the Pol Pot regimes prison camps. For Chorn. the photographs bring back brutal memories.
