Cambodia



Today we read about an Immigrant family who had lived in America for a long time and were going back to live in Cambodia. Before reading we did an Internet Search to find out about Cambodia. It is a country in the South East of Asia, next to Vietnam. 1975 was a very bad time for the Cambodians.

There was a civil war and then Pol Pot decided that he wanted everyone to be the same and work on the farms. He forced everyone to leave the cities. Everyone had to walk out including the old and the sick.

Civilian deaths in this period, from execution disease, exhaustion and starvation, have been estimated at well over two million. This was more than a quarter of all Cambodians.

If you go to Cambodia now you can go to a museum and see thousands of skulls.
