Admission is free; no passes are required.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cForty years ago this spring, the Khmer Rouge launched a ruthless campaign of enslavement on its people, subjecting the people of Cambodia to forced labor, starvation, illness, and death,\u201d says Museum curator Gregory Naranjo. \u201cMany others were imprisoned and executed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, some of the perpetrators of these crimes are on trial. We want people to know the truth of what happened during the Khmer Rouge\u2019s violent reign and to witness the long-delayed search for justice for the victims now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following years of civil war, the fanatical Communist Khmer Rouge forces captured Cambodia\u2019s capital, Phnom Penh, on April 17, 1975, and seized control of the government. Over the course of the next four years, the regime sought to radically restructure the nation, instituting policies that led to the deaths of at least a quarter of the country\u2019s population.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ushmm.org\/information\/exhibitions\/museum-exhibitions\/cambodia-1975\"><em>Cambodia 1975\u20131979<\/em><\/a>, located just outside the Museum\u2019s Joseph and Rebecca Meyerhoff Theater, examines the murderous actions taken by the Khmer Rouge to establish their new state, \u201cDemocratic Kampuchea,\u201d as a self-sustaining, farm-based society, free from outside influence. Within hours of Phnom Penh\u2019s capture, the city\u2019s two million residents were driven out and sent to the countryside, where they were quickly pressed into forced labor brigades on massive earthworks and rice paddies. Hundreds of thousands of Cambodians starved, dropped dead of exhaustion or disease, or were executed as punishment for failure to meet production goals or for suspicion of disloyalty to the regime.<\/p>\n<p>Located in the Museum\u2019s Wexner Center, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ushmm.org\/information\/exhibitions\/museum-exhibitions\/i-want-justice\"><em>\u201cI Want Justice!\u201d<\/em><\/a> explores the history of efforts to hold perpetrators of mass atrocities and genocide accountable in courts of law, from the Nuremberg trials of Nazi leaders after World War II to the International Criminal Court today. In addition to the recent and ongoing cases before the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, <em>\u201cI Want Justice!\u201d<\/em> also looks at ways Cambodian survivors are seeking others forms of \u201cjustice\u201d\u2014personal, cultural, and historical\u2014as they continue to struggle with the legacy of the Khmer Rouge era.<\/p>\n<p>Visitors can learn more about this history and the victims\u2019 search for justice at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ushmm.org\/confront-genocide\/cases\/cambodia\">ushmm.org\/cambodia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Museum\u2019s founders created a living memorial that aims not only to honor the victims of the Holocaust but also to prevent mass atrocities from happening again,\u201d says Cameron Hudson, director of the Museum\u2019s Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide. \u201cBy shining a light on what happened in Cambodia and its long aftermath, we hope to both deepen our visitors\u2019 understanding of this history and inspire them to work toward preventing such crimes in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>(Source <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ushmm.org\/information\/press\/press-releases\/museum-opens-cambodia-1975-1979-and-i-want-justice\" target=\"_blank\">The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&nbsp;
