Proleung Khmer (Khmer Soul): A 50-year Journey of Remembrance and Resilience
In the spring of 2025, the Khmer community and supporters across New England will come together for "Proleung Khmer (Khmer Soul): A 50-year Journey of Remembrance and Resilience," a series of events commemorating one of the most profound and defining moments in Khmer history. On April 17, 1975, the Khmer Genocidal Regime of Pol Pot (1975-1979) took over Phnom Penh and other provincial cities in Cambodia. It forced the population into the countryside, leading to nearly four years of terror and trauma, during which 1.7 to 3 million Khmer people died due to overwork, starvation, disease, and execution. 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of Khmer refugees relocating to the United States after fleeing the regime.
Purpose: This event series aims to honor the lives lost during the Khmer Genocidal Regime of Pol Pot, support survivors, and celebrate the contributions of Khmer Americans. By fostering remembrance and education, "Proleung Khmer" seeks to preserve the Khmer heritage and ensure that future generations understand and remember the sacrifices and achievements of the Khmer Diaspora.
