Unidentified Faces of Khmer Rouge: The Horrific Genocide Under Pol Pot’s Regime

In a world where agriculture dominated, education was non-existent. The most formidable enemies of the country were educated individuals. One face that stood out, the man’s name ‘Pol Pot’. His aim was clear… ‘Once to Cambodia’s Angkor Wat and beyond Angkor’. Pol Pot was the one who led Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh, in 1975, proclaiming himself as the country’s prime minister. 1975, the ‘Year Zero’ as he called it. A country without schools! That was the nightmare of Pol Pot. The weight of this nightmare fell on the educated intellectuals of the society, who were the primary witnesses. Hence, the first step was to eliminate them.
