On April 17, 1975, a communist regime known as the Khmer Rouge conquered the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh. The occupation set in motion a four-year campaign of genocide that would wipe out 2 million people – a quarter of the country’s population.
Cambodian Genocide survivor, Danny Vong, was born in Kampong Cham, Cambodia, in 1952. He shared his story with USC Shoah Foundation in 2009.
Developed through a partnership between USC Shoah Foundation and the Documentation Center of Cambodia, the Cambodian Genocide Testimony Collection offers testimonies of survivors who escaped the killings from 1975 to 1979.

April is Genocide Awareness Month.
