Description
Youth Yan was a high school student in Battambang when the Khmer Rouge came to power in 1975. He spent a year in a Khmer Rouge concentration camp, where he was beaten and made to carry out forced labor. Yan's youngest brother was shot to death by Khmer Rouge soldiers. A part of the Khmer Archives Project, carried out by the Minnesota Project-- International Lawyers Committee, this interview was recorded in 1992. Youth Yan speaks about the period from 1975 to the fall of the Khmer Rouge in 1979. In 1979, Yan crossed the border and entered a refugee camp in Thailand. He moved from camp to camp for a few years, before coming to the United States, where he was eventually recognized as a refugee, and finally received American citizenship. At the time that this interview was recorded, Yan was working as a paralegal in St. Paul, Minnesota, and his mother, two sisters and brother were still in a refugee camp in Thailand, who he was hoping to bring to the United States in the near future.
