It was one of the most brutal periods of recent history and saw up to 2 million Cambodians killed by overwork and paranoid purges. And yet the rule of the Khmer Rouge from 1975 to 1979 was completely left out of the official history of Cambodia for a generation of schoolchildren.
Now, with a UN-backed tribunal underway for five top Khmer Rouge leaders, Cambodia's government will include a text on the Khmer Rouge in its 2009 high school curriculum. Half a million copies of A History of Democratic Kampuchea are being distributed to more than 1,300 schools across the country for grades nine through 12.
Presenter: Sonja Heydeman
Speaker: Youk Chhang, Director of the Documentation Centre of Cambodia; Son Chhay, Opposition Member of Cambodia's Parliament

Under Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime, no criminals that has been committed all of these crimes above within Hun Sen Khmer Rouge government have ever been brought to justice.
It's good to distribute and the record of history for young generation to learn about the KR. But one disappointed view is that "If the KR Leaders are still not telling the truth about their political ideology and execution, the history is still hiding and invaluable. The value of history is the truth for next generation to learn for their future" ...
ReplyDeleteThose aged KR leaders should tell the true about the execution of Cambodian people and their political strategies before they end... As they can't live for longer and time is too short for them now..! The fact of the KR history will be nationally and worldly respected and learned by the whole world...!
