An interview with Channy Som recorded for the Khmer Oral History Project and catalogued by the Minnesota Historical Society. (Minnesota Historical Society record)

Description

Channy Som lived in Battambang with her family when the Khmer Rouge came to power. They were made to leave their home and live in the forest before being separated and put into work camps. At the time of the interview she was living in St. Paul with two siblings and working in catering, with one sister in a refugee camp in Thailand and two others still in Cambodia with their father. (Minnesota Historical Society record)

Credits

The catalogue record names Channy Som as the narrator and states no interviewer, so the interviewer is not recorded here. The interviews in this project were recorded in July and August 1992 and the project copyright is held by Minnesota Advocates for Human Rights. (Minnesota Historical Society record) (Minnesota Historical Society project description)

Access

The interview is catalogued in the Minnesota Historical Society collections search, which states no item number, no access restriction and no online recording link, so a researcher should ask the society how to listen or view. (Minnesota Historical Society record) KhmerConnection indexes this material and does not hold or provide access to the recordings.
