Affon...: El Infierno De Los Jemeres Rojos Denise

El Infierno de los Jemeres Rojos (originally published in French as La Digue des veuves and in English as To the End of Hell ) is a harrowing memoir by Denise Affonço, a survivor of the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia. The book is distinct because it is based on journals written in 1979, immediately following her liberation, providing a raw and "fresh" perspective of the atrocities.

The regime targeted intellectuals, city dwellers, and anyone associated with the previous government or foreign powers. Approximately 1.7 to 2 million people—a quarter of Cambodia's population—perished due to execution, famine, and exhaustion. 3. Key Narrative Elements El Infierno De Los Jemeres Rojos Denise Affon...
