I am so excited
that I almost shed tears, and I feel extremely sad when I read your article
mentioning the biography of my father and some description of the biography of
my older brother, called Chen Sydin. These accounts are the result of the
immense efforts of you, your colleagues, and the director of the magazine.
Together, you expended tremendous effort to look for documents every place [in
Cambodia] and managed to find some documents which contain the name and letters
of my older brother. However, some parts of his writing [his confession] were
not true; he did that in order to avoid unbearable, brutal torture. After all,
death was the reward of this effort.
The surviving
members of family and I, as well as all other Cambodian citizens, still remember
the terror of the genocidal Pol Pot regime, and it will forever remain in our
minds.
I would like to
say thanks, specifically to Keokannitha Kim, my niece, who prayed for the
peacefulness of the souls of my father and older brother during the Phchum Benn
festival.
I wish to express
my deep gratitude to the director and his colleagues, who have spent their
valuable time to conduct research on the regime, and especially, for publishing
the biographies of my father and older brother. May successes fall upon all of
your missions.
Chan
