My book was Growing Up Under the Khmer Rouge: When Broken Glass Floats, by: Chanrithy Him and as mentioned it is about the Khmer Rouge. I decided to research more about the Khmer Rouge because although the book is about growing up under the Khmer Rouge, the book never discusses what the Khmer Rouge was. From the book I know that they were basically used as slaves and were barely fed, but I wanted to learn more about what happened to them.
From my research I learned that the Khmer Rouge is the name that was given to the followers of the Communist Party of Kampuchea; they were also known as “The Communist Party of Kampuchea. It was formed in 1968 and was the ruling party from 1975-1979. The party is most known for the Cambodian Genocide.
