DC-Cam continues work to keep memories of KR horrors alive

The Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam) last week continued its mission of reminding people about the brutal Khmer Rouge regime by organising a Genocide Education Forum in two provinces. On June 7, DC-Cam was invited to hold a workshop for over 50 people during the annual meeting of the Kep Gardens Association, a non-profit NGO committed to the vocational training and education of young people in Kep province’s Kampong Tralach village.

Most of the participants were born after 1979, and were given an insight into the horrors experienced by their parents and grandparents during the Pol Pot regime’s rule. Association president Janine Judd said that the reason for the invitation was because there was generally a lack of knowledge about the Khmer Rouge among the villagers.

“I invited a speaker from the Documentation Center of Cambodia to talk about the history of the Khmer Rouge because I found out while talking with the people that they did not believe that the human remains which were placed in a public shrine about two yards away were those of Khmer Rouge victims,” she said.
