Importance

This is important to history for many reasons. It is the first time people have followed through with seperating the intellectuals from the non-intellectuals and killed the intellectuals. There has been a lot of genocides but this one is is unique in its own way. It is unique because they not only damaged people physically but brainwashed them mentally. It is also important because it is a time in history where a mass killing had taken place. This is major part in history for Cambodia.



I chose this topic because I wanted something original. I chose this topic because I was interested on what had happened in Rwanda and the Holocaust. I believe that they are similar in many ways. They killed a variety of people based on one thing. It is a sad topic that no one really knows about and I believe that people should read more on genocides and be greatful for what they have because it is a horrifying thing that truly happened.
