Description
Beneath the Killing Fields by Peter Chhim
What happens to a family when survival means silence?In this haunting and deeply personal memoir, Peter Chhim pieces together the fragmented histories of his parents and siblings-survivors of the Khmer Rouge genocide who endured forced labor camps, starvation, and unimaginable loss. Told through intimate interviews and layered reflection, Beneath the Killing Fields offers a rare glimpse into the emotional aftermath of war, displacement, and generational trauma.Each chapter unfolds through the voice of a different family member, revealing how war not only fractures lives-but also reshapes memory, identity, and love. From quiet acts of defiance to unspoken grief, these stories preserve the humanity behind the headlines.More than a memoir, this is an act of remembrance-for those who made it out, and those who didn’t.
