NORNG CHAN PHAL: THE MYSTERY OF THE BOY AT S-21 - A story of family, love and struggle to rebuild life after the Khmer Rouge genocide - Softcover

Norng Chan Phal, who survived the Khmer Rouge torture centre S-21 as a child in 1979, has published a book documenting his family's ordeal. Eng Kok Thay, director of the Cambodian Institute for Peace and Development and author of "Norng Chan Phal: The mystery of the boy at S-21," said that he and Mr Chan Phal spent one year researching his family for the book. Mr Chan Phal was one of four child survivors found at the prison after the Khmer Rouge abandoned the capital and S-21. Mr Chan Phal and the other children were hiding under clothes behind the prison and were found by Vietnamese soldiers. The 103-page book details the horror of his and his parent's imprisonment. "This book is a very good lesson for the younger generation," Mr Kok Thay said. "This book tells the story to the world to educate young people about the story of Norng Chan Phal and the Khmer Rouge regime."
