Inside the once majestic country of cambodia, after a decade of war, history witnessed the collapse of the regime. It would end with one of the worst genocides the world had ever seen. This memorial helps to ensure that the world never forgets those who died during the years of the cambodia killing fields. Yet, there is more to the story. There is the untold episode of the fate of tens of thousands of survivors who sought refuge inside thailand. This is my father in a refugee camp in 1980. I knew that my father was a survivor of the killing fields but i was shocked to learn that he and many thousands of others faced a more terrifying atrocity. The massacre on the mountain here. My son never gave up. He always pushed me to tell him the story and i always said to him, i dont want to. I dont want to relive it again. He would say just tell me one time.

And every day some new atrocity occurs. Yesterday or the day before whenever it was three more people came forward with the idea that he had raped them.
