Welcome to KhmerRouge.com
The first website established to study all elements of history related to the Khmer Rouge, Democratic Kampuchea, as well as the actors involved in politics within the region before and after their existence.
This is not a pro-Khmer Rouge website, but rather one that seeks to sift through the rumours and report the truth on one of the most infamous organizations in history.
