This photo was taken at the Phnom Penh Killing Fields, one of the many sites in Cambodia from the state-sponsored genocide of the Khmer Rouge regime (1975-1979). From a population of about 8 million, at least 1.38 were executed. In total, about 2.2 million died because of KR policies (disease, starvation, etc.). Visiting the Killing Fields reminded me of the Auschwitz death camp, yet something in this comparison was frustrating. We learn so much about WWII and the Holocaust, yet how many of us had a unit on the KR in history class? We learn about Hi**er, yet I had nearly no knowledge of Pol Pot. However, there is something even more concerning than this information escaping Western public education systems. Textbooks used in the formal Cambodian public education curriculum mention the "glorious" events of the ruling regime, and fail to include any of the controversial topics regarding Pol Pot and his party. If new generations are growing up without this vital knowledge, how can they ensure history does not repeat itself in their homeland? I know I can't do much about this, but what I can do is hope for some of you to read this caption, inform yourselves about the KR, and share to spread awareness.

Now, we are going to end this throwback series with how it started: Mari and I met in Ghana, but she left to complete her last year of IB in Oslo. Anyways, I was Black -Friday shopping online in my global politics class, when I saw a major discount on flights from Poland to Norway, so without even waiting for Mari's response to whether I could stay with her, I booked one of the last seats for a $14 return trip. Only a few weeks later, I was in Oslo, greeted at the sketchy train station by my favorite person running with an extra coat under her arm because she knew I would underestimate Norwegian weather. She knows me better than I know myself.
