The Khmer Rouge
refers to a group of Cambodians
who believed in communism.
During the leadership of the Khmer Rouge,
many Cambodian people were killed.
Bophana Center started to think
of supporting young Cambodian people
in understanding the Khmer Rouge history
and they came up
with creating an application
for smartphones or tablets
for teaching
and also a very important tool
for learning.
In this application
we have 12 chapters.
We combine written text
with archival material
like film, photography,
testimony of the Khmer Rouge survivors,
and some other artwork
that can illustrate very well
the Khmer Rouge history.
This application contributes
to help understand
the cause and effect
of the Khmer Rouge.
The understanding of the genocide
will contribute, also,
to the prevention of such crimes
or similar crimes from happening.
This is important for Cambodia
and also for the world.
