This picture is a photograph of young kids hiding from the killing fields of the Khmer
Rouge. They do not want to be killed, but as one can see, the children look to be very
hungry, and their parents are not around. This picture helps our website, as it shows the
separation of the children from their parents, and the starvation and disease spreading
through Cambodia.

In this article, the effects of killing off all the people is explained. Most of all, though, this
article helps me understand when the genocide stopped and how it stopped. It has also
helped me understand how Cambodia has managed to bounce back with the creation of a
new law system. Not only does it help me understand the time dates and Cambodia’s
development, but it helps me understand the brutal things that the Khmer Rouge did to the
people of Cambodia from 1975-1979.

from the effects of the genocide, if they ever will. Also, it said when the genocide ended.

In this article, L. Kijewski informs the readers of the upsetting torture methods used by the
Khmer Rouge at the S-21 prison in the Cambodian genocide. All of the details of the cruel
torture was retrieved by Prak Khan, a previous S-21 interrogator, in his testimony as
explained by the article. The S-21 is described as a prison compound used to interrogate
victims during the Cambodian genocide. Some of the torture methods included rape, blood
withdrawal, beatings with clubs, starvation, and much more. I will use the information of

In this article, the author describes the leaders of the Khmer Rouge and Cambodia itself.
This article is more in depth of how each leader came to reign and their influence on the
Khmer Rouge. Most importantly, the author describes Kampuchea, a leader of the genocide
who is rarely discussed in other sources. I will use this for more detail about the
perpetrators of the Cambodian genocide. Furtherly, it describes the fall of these leaders and
the Khmer Rouge, which will most definitely help with the “outcome of genocide” section
of this project.

In this article, the author discusses the rise of the Khmer Rouge. This includes how they
came to power, who they are, and what they stood for. The article also includes the main
leaders of the Khmer Rouge and their influence on the entire group. I will use this article to
talk about the perpetrators and their goal by committing this genocide. I will especially use
the information found in paragraph 8 that explains what the Khmer Rouge thought process
was for their many killings and how they thought it would better Cambodia. Finally, some
other information that is found in the article is when and where the genocide occurred - in
case other group members will need this. This article also describes what happened when
people resisted the Khmer Rouge, who exactly was targeted, and the effect of killing those
people.

This article is very helpful towards understanding what countries helped who, and who
was on what side. It explains how the United States, United Kingdom, and Vietnam tried
to help Cambodia, if it meant sending aid, resources, or soldiers. It explained the war
between the Khmer Rouge and communist vietnam/cambodia. Many had mixed views on
which country is doing the right thing. The article describes how the reconstruction of
Cambodia was slowed because of the US, UK, and Vietnam’s involvement, and the death
of many intelligent people.
