On #ThisDayInHistory in 1979 #PhnomPenh fell to Vietnamese troops intent on toppling #PolPot & the #KhmerRouge in the #ThirdIndochinaWar. The Cambodian/Kampuchean dictatorship killed between 1.5 & 2 million people in the #CambodianGenocide/#Democide, ~60% due to direct execution.

50 years ago today, the Khmer Rouge entered Phnom Penh on 17 April 1975, proclaiming Day One. Initially welcomed by war-weary civilians, they promptly forcibly evacuated cities, setting off one of the gravest tragedies of the 20th century, leading to 2 million deaths. #CambodianGenocide #NeverForget

The single most terrifying and gut-wrenching film that I’ve ever watched is The Killing Fields.

In 2012 I met a man who escaped Cambodia at the time of Pol Pot’s massive extermination campaign. He was a pharmacist at a local CVS. I was shaken to learn what he endured to escape.

Today marks 50 years since nearly 2 million people were starved, tortured, and executed in the #CambodianGenocide.
#WeRemember that silence is never neutral. We must honor the victims' memories by recommitting to action to prevent and protect populations from atrocities today.

The Khmer Rouge targeted intellectuals and urban residents in pursuit of an extreme agrarian vision. We unpack the ideology, terror, and consequences. What should the world learn from it today? #CambodianGenocide #Intellectuals #KhmerRouge #KillingFields #PolPot
Why the Khmer Rouge Killed Intellectuals and City Dwellers (And What It Meant)
The Khmer Rouge killed intellectuals and city dwellers because the movement embraced an extreme agrarian, anti-urban ideology that cast educated people, professionals, and anyone linked to the old society as enemies of a new peasant utopia. Under Pol Pot’s rule from 1975 to 1979, cities were emptied, money and markets were abolished, and suspected “intellectuals” were executed or worked to death in rural labor camps.
