Description
The Killing Fields of Cambodia: Surviving a Living Hell A powerful and personal account of survival against all odds. In 1975, Sokphal Din was forced to leave his home with his family, joining millions of others who were subjected to the brutal regime of the Khmer Rouge. The ensuing years brought slavery, malnutrition, disease, and mass extermination, claiming the lives of two million people. Despite unimaginable hardships, Sokphal's mother and some siblings found the strength to endure, driven by their determination to survive together. Sokphal himself was sent to hard-labour camps in the Killing Fields, where he fought for his life against an unforgiving regime. After many struggles, they eventually escaped the constant violence and reunited with each other. This is a heart-wrenching and unforgettable account of one family's miraculous resilience in the face of unspeakable brutality.
