A Responsible
Genocide Education Tour
A DC-Cam team of
eight members led a group of 29 Norwegian students of religion study
to visit villages of Khmer Rouge perpetrators in Koh Thom district,
Kandal province. At there, students met with three former cadre at
S-21 such as Him Huy, Tuy Kin and Leng. Him Huy was a former
security guard at S-21 and Tuy Kin and Leng were female cadre at
Prey Sar between 1975 and 1979. The photos below were at Him Huy's
house in Koh Thom district. Once Norwegian students arrived at Him
Huy's house, they were invited by Huy to go upstairs of his house
and those students were served with a tea pot which was very formal
for people in the countryside.
Students expressed
their thanks to Huy for being honest with them in telling his
experience since 1970 until 1979 when the Khmer Rouge period
collapsed. Huy also briefed some experience he went through after
1979.
Another group was
to cross the river to meet with Tuy Kin and Leng. Then, those
students toured the villages to see people's livelihood and
lifestyle along the Bassack River. On a dusty road, those students
walked through the village and were greeted by villagers along the
way.
