First They Killed My Father

"First They Killed My Father" is exceptionally and profoundly written. I found myself needing to take mental and emotional breaks from reading due to the overwhelming sorrow and angst I felt from reading the excerpts of this book. Ms. Ung takes you there along side everyone who experienced the genocide in Cambodia as if you were experiencing it yourself, picturing your loved ones walking the long walk to flee, the heat, the sweat, and such immense and unimaginable loss. My heart cries for those killed, for those who survived, and for those missing. I am so sorry. Thank you for writing this book. Well done.

First they kill my father always remind all Cambodian people . After I read the book and watch the film I feel so hurt and remember in my mind.
