DITH PRAN, 1942-2008


Survivor, messenger, and activist Dith Pran died today. He gave a face and a voice to the atrocities committed against the Cambodian people by the Khmer Rouge regime. He also gave them a name, “The Killing Fields.”

As we in the United States evaluate our role in global affairs, perhaps we should listen to a reasoned voice of experience -

"All tragedies have universal implications."
