Description
Monoram Hang was a nine-year-old living in Phnom Penh when the Khmer Rouge came to power; his father was a commander in the army and was killed almost immediately, and his mother had given birth only two days before. The family was made to leave home and walk about fifty kilometres out of the city into the jungle, where they were split up and sent to different work camps. He describes the children's team and camp conditions, crossing into Thailand in 1984 or 1985 with his brother's help, living without permission in a refugee camp, receiving medical training, meeting his American sponsor and coming to Minnesota in 1988.

Credits
The catalogue record names Monoram Hang 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.
