“As far as we know (and historians are still trying to document these things), there was no more intense genocide in the twentieth century than that committed by the Khmer Rouge. Though reported numbers vary, the Khmer Rouge murdered anywhere from 25% to 47% of the seven million-strong Cambodian population in the three years it ruled. As the Khmer Rouge openly stated: ‘All we need to build our country is a million good revolutionaries. No more than that. And we would rather kill ten friends than allow one enemy to live.’ Officially possessing no prisons, the entire country of Cambodia became a gulag, a death camp, between 1975 and 1979.” (06/14/24)
