The Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam), in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport, conducted the commemoration of a genocide education memorial and Khmer Rouge Textbook Distribution Ceremony in the compound of Hun Sen Ang Chork High School, Chum Kiri district, Kampot province. The event was held on December 9, 2014, at 8:00 a.m. Her Excellency Ton Sa Im, Undersecretary of State of the Ministry of Education Youth and Sport; and Mr. Tak Hab, Head of Kampot Provincial Education Office was the guests of honor for this ceremony.

Chum Kiri is one of seven districts of Kampot. It was in the Southwest Zone under the control of Ta Mok during the Khmer Rouge period. During this period the Rumlich dam was expanded from its original size of about 10 meters in width to the biggest dam in Chum Kiri. Hundreds of people died at the site due to forced labor, starvation and disease. Presently, the dam is still used as a place to store water from the surrounding mountains. People use the water from the dam rice field irrigation.

The memorial is being constructed with contribution from teachers and students of Hun Sen Ang Chork High School. To date, the school is the eighteenth location to hold a memorial inauguration ceremony for secondary schools throughout the country.
