Surviving Cambodia, The Khmer Rouge Regime

This is a true story about one of many family's life and death in Cambodia during The Khmer Rouge Regime. What we did to survive, to escape to a better place and hope for a better life. We've lost many family members during the bloodshed of The Khmer Rouge.

The four of us were very fortunate to survive these ordeals. With luck, faith, perseverance and survival instinct, we've escaped Cambodia and made it to America.
