A collaboration between the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights and the Documentation Center of Cambodia, this project explores both the origins and dynamics of the Cambodian genocide as well as the ways in which Cambodians have remembered, coped with, and sought truth, justice, and reconciliation after the Khmer Rouge atrocities. This initiative has a number of dimensions, including student and faculty research project, the Documentation Center of Cambodia’s Public Information Room at Rutgers-Newark , a major archive of documents and digital images related to the Cambodian genocide, student and faculty exchanges, film screenings, lectures and symposia, internships, and exhibitions.
