I was fourteen when the Khmer Rouge came to Phnom Penh in April 1975. At the time, I lived in Toul Kauk, a Phnom Penh suburb. I was home alone when young Khmer Rouge comrades came to chase me out of the house on the morning of 17 April. My mother, who’d been hoping to collect me later, had previously moved with the rest of the family to my uncle’s house for greater safety.

While five senior leaders are on trial for these crimes at the Extraordinary Chambers of the Courts of Cambodia, hundreds of lower level perpetrators live amongst their victims today. This thesis examines how rural Cambodians (including victims, perpetrators, and bystanders) are coexisting after the trauma of the Khmer Rouge years, and the decades of civil war before and after.

It was a long time ago! I did not take note of this date and time passed by. It was so long ago and I’m afraid my memory is very poor now when I am aging. – Witness Prak Yut I. OVERVIEW In an effort to resolve the issues around admissibility of documents from hearings last week, the Trial Chamber called Mr. Vanthan Dara Peou, the Deputy Director of the Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam) to testify at the start of the week. The Bench, the Prosecution, and the Civil Party lawyers sought clarification on DC-Cam’s mandate and methods of collecting and archiving documents, while the Defense Teams asked questions aimed at showing DC-Cam’s alleged bias against the Accused, and the unreliability of the documents in its collection. At the end of the week, the Trial Chamber issued an oral ruling that documents cited in the Closing Order would be considered prima facie authentic, relevant and reliable, while other documents in the Case File would have to be assessed case-by-case as they are put before the Chamber. In the second half of the week, the Court continued with the reception of evidence for the first segment of the trial.

The meeting was chaired by Mr. In Choen, General, Secretary of the Cabinet Office, and was attended by the Deputy Chief of Cult and Religion, the Deputy Chief of Information, Mr. Koy Chhun, the Deputy Chief of Justice and Prisons and by the Police Commissioner. The meeting proceeded very successfully, considering that many of the senior officials of the Provincial Government were in Phnom Penh for the holidays. Six sites were selected for us to visit, and Mr. Koy Chhun was appointed to accompany us as he had been associated with the excavations at these sites during the early 1980's. Wat Chum Kriel Kampot District. 070701 After the meeting at the provincial Offices concluded, we visited the site of a memorial at Wat Chum Kriel, 5 kilometers along the Kep road. This wooden stupa contained skulls, bones and shackles that had been brought from burial sites in the Kampot District, but little other information was available. There were no witness to be interviewed. Wat Kampong Tralach Kampot District (Kep) 070702 That afternoon we drove out along the Kep road about 20 kilometers, branching off to the left towards Phnom Voar before we reached Kep. The large gray cement Wat at Kampong Tralach had been used as a prison, and we visited the memorial stupa in the grounds which contained the bones of 750 victims.

This dissertation argues that recent moves by the Cambodian government to transform this site into an "historical-tourist area" is overwhelmingly dominated by commercial priorities. However, the tourism project simultaneously effects an historical narrative that inherits but transforms the government's historiographic endeavors that immediately followed Democratic Kampuchea's 1979 ousting.
