64 | Ba's War & Genocide Story

Ba takes us back to the late 1960s-1970s to share what it was like growing up in the rice fields to hiding in his classroom from bombs and missile attacks during the Vietnam War at only 5 years old, and witnessing the horrific events that took place when the Khmer Rouge Communist Party took over Cambodia. He had lost many family members, including his own father (who was a General for the former Government) in the killing fields. It was also not an easy process for him to talk about his mother, who had to care for 5 kids as a widow. Ba has had a very hard life, and this was the first time for him to share his story with us and with the world. Thank you for listening.
