What Communism Creates: Remembering the Khmer Rouge

Last Saturday marked the 35th anniversary of the fall of Phnom Penh to the Khmer Rouge led by the vicious Pol Pot. That day turned out to be the beginning of one of the worst and most wicked massacres in the world's history.

Behind a tight veil of secrecy, a fifth of the population, nearly 2 million Cambodians, were murdered by the rampaging Communists. The Cambodian people were tortured, imprisoned, worked to death, starved, and in other brutal ways executed without mercy.

Lest we forget what Communism is, here is one woman's story.
