| Riassunto: | The author describes the way in which the memory of the Cambodian genocide (self-genocide?) was not established; how, from the very first days of the
liberation of Cambodia, (January 1979), it was swept away through the
“Nazification” of Pol Pot and his fellow perpetrators, thus avoiding the implication of the Communist concentration system (the Soviet Goulag and the Chinese
Lao Gai). Therefore, the author argues, justice was not done and the assassins, in
great number, were able to find their place in a terrified and demolished society.
Memorial sites, specially S 21 (the prison and the torture center of Tuol Sleng in
Pnom Penh), serve now-a-days mainly as “touristic” sites that are almost totally
deserted by the local population. |
