Description
Yoeuth Yan was a student in 1975 when the Khmer Rouge regime began. He was sent out of Battambang City, fell ill with malaria while working on the youth mobile team, found his mother and siblings, and learned that his father had been taken away and killed. He describes falling ill again, being made to work in various camps including a reeducation camp, finding his family after Vietnamese soldiers arrived in 1979, leaving for Thailand, supporting himself by selling Thai goods to Cambodians, and moving to Minnesota through a sponsor from the American Refugee Committee.
