    The story of the brutalities and genocide committed by the Khmer Rouge upon the population of Cambodia is an incredible and appaling portion of Southeast Asia's history that is often forgotten but it seems that some semblance of justice may prevail eventually.

      I saw the movie "Killing Fields" and will never forget the tragedy the Cambodians went through. May Dith Pran rest in peace!

      My mom and I were talking tonight and she mentioned meeting Lakhina L. Brown at her church the other night. Lakhina is also a survivor of the Killing Fields. She was just 6 years old when she fled Cambodia. She has written a book called "Through the Fields of Grace" that I plan on reading!
