Bailey Berry On January 7, 1979, Vietnamese forces and Cambodian rebel forces overthrew Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge,the communist guerilla movement that came to power in Cambodia between 1975-1979. During its brutal regime, the Khmer Rouge established labor camps where millions of Cambodians were expected to produce rice at an unrealistic scale to support its mission of national independence and societal restructuring. Robert Chau was only sixteen when he and his family were separated and forced into some of these labor camps. His incredible story of surviving and escaping from the Khmer Rouge, immigrating to California, and becoming a successful entrepreneur in the donut industry has been lovingly recorded by his daughter, Dorothy Chow, in her podcast “Death in Cambodia, Life in America.” Tue, 07 Jan 2025 08:36:04 -0800 df606d4e-9d0b-4507-8608-dfdf44503a76
