The Remembering the Killing Fields Exhibit, Chicago
The Remembering the Killing Fields exhibit opened in 2011 and is a permanent exhibit at the National Cambodian Heritage Museum (formerly known as the Cambodian American Heritage Museum) in Chicago. The exhibit documents life under the Khmer Rouge by following a sequence of major themes: 1) “Clearing the Cities,” 2) “Destroying Society,” 3) “Constant Fear,” 4) “The Killing Fields,” and 5) “How I survived.” The exhibit was designed in part by collecting life history interviews of survivors living in the Chicago area. The six survivors pictured here (left to right: Thon Horm, Nen Sok, Horm Vin, Ly Yoeu, Riya Yoeu, and Sen Chey) mark the beginning of the exhibit. (Cambodian Association of Illinois)
