QUOTES

Part of my life is saving life. I don't consider myself a politician or a hero. I'm a messenger. If Cambodia is to survive, she needs many voices

all tragedies have universal implications

Please help spread the word of the Cambodian genocide. I believe it needs to be told, the new generation needs to be educated and we want history not to repeat itself. We don't want to see the holocaust, the genocide, the killing fields keep returning to this planet

Together we can prevent genocide from happening again. Together we can make a better future for our children.
