 | | The Cambodian Killing Fields: On April 17th, 1975, Khmer Rouge, a communist guerrilla group led by Pol Pot, took power in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, beginning the period known as "the Killing Fields." |
 | | If a person knew a foreign language, had worked for the French or Americans, or dared to express feelings of love to your husband or wife, he or she was a target. |
 | | While the genocide targeted minority ethnic and religious groups like the Vietnamese, Chinese and the Chams, a Muslim people, the Killing Fields was also unique in that it was largely an act of auto-genocide. Cambodians did the killing and the dying. |
