February 10, 2010, The Meeting at Senate Library
         

Youk Chhang's mother, Keo Nan, 82 years old, meeting for the first time villagers of Trapeang Veng village in Banteay Mean Chey province, where she used to live under the Khmer Rouge regime. Some of the villagers there were responsible for her and her children's pain and suffering, while others there actually helped her and her family to survive under the regime. Keo Nan lost all of her three brothers, one sister, one daughter, and many grandchildren under the Khmer Rouge regime. In total, nearly 60 of her relatives are still missing after the fall of the regime. Remarkably for her, "forgiveness" is still possible.
