Clip Source: www.cnn.com My mothers escape from Khmer Rouge Kaing Guek Eav, better known as Duch, was found guilty of war crimes and sentenced to serve up to 19 more years in prison in what was an open-and-shut case. From the start, Duch, a born-again Christian, fully admitted his leadership role in Phnom Penhs infamous Tuol Sleng, a school-turned-torture center, where more than 14,000 people were killed. My mom passed away in October at the age of 73 in Northern California. When she was only 39, she had managed to outwit the Khmer Rouge and the Vietnamese communists by escaping Cambodia to Vietnam with five young children, including me. She was an incredible woman. She grew up in an age and place when women were the property of men, and yet she sought independence. On her home was a sign "Propriété de Madame Lim" (Property of Mrs. Lim). She decided to take a chance and claim to be Vietnamese. It was a dangerous gamble. zum Artikel... Für die Inhalte dieses Feeds ist alleine der jeweilige Autor/Anbieter verantwortlich.
