A published excerpt from a video interview with Chanty Chut recorded on 31 May 2009 for the Cambodian American Community of Oregon Oral History Project and held in Special Collections at the Portland State University Library. (PDXScholar item record)

Description

Chanty Chut discusses the circumstances in 1979 after the Khmer Rouge lost, when people returned to Battambang from work groups and he tried to live in freedom. He describes deciding overnight to leave Cambodia for Thailand after a great uncle who had been imprisoned by the Khmer Rouge offered to lend the family whatever money they needed, and saying goodbye to his parents with about one hour's notice, telling them that he did not know where he would go.
