In this week's episode, we spoke to the incredible and resilient Var Ashe Houston about her experience of living under the brutal Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia during the 1970's. Var, along with her blind mother and two young daughters, were pushed from their home as the dictator Pol Pot ascended to power and forced to work twelve hours a day on the land. Var's husband was tricked and murdered by the regime and Var witnessed scenes of unimaginable cruelty and torture, including the beating of her own five-year-old daughter. Var's story of survival shines a light on the atrocities of Cambodia's 'Killing Fields' and the horrific murder of a quarter of her countrymen in just four years of the Khmer Rouge's rule.
