Genocide: Cambodia and Around the World This year, all incoming
students were asked to read "Lucky Child," by Luong Ung. The
book details her survival of the Khmer Rouge genocide, and her
return to Cambodia to seek out family that was left behind
there. To coincide with this, the Library has installed an
exhibit designed to provide some background information on the
Khmer Rouge regime, which, under dictator Pol Pot, was
responsible for as many as 2 million deaths between 1975-1979.
Another portion of the exhibit details current and recent
genocides, and the cases inside the library highlight
organizations that are working to combat the atrocities of
genocide and related issues. Please stop by the DiMenna-Nyselius
Library to see the exhibit. Not able to make it in person? You
