My name is Cheng Chhun Eang and I am looking for the following persons:
1. Nguon Eng alias Ta Ny (male), a high-ranking cadre of the Khmer Rouge.
2. Cheng Chhun Sreng (female), Nguon Eng’s wife and my elder sister. She has five children:
· Nguon Sao Yut (male)
· Nguon Vuthya (male)
· Nguon Vuthavary (female)
· Nguon Rathana Bopha (female)
· Nguon ____. I do not know the name of the youngest child, who was born in the forest.
3. Cheng Kallyan alias Nei (female), [my younger sister] and a Khmer Rouge cadre.
4. Cheng Kheang Meng (male), my older brother and Prince Chan Raingsei’s army major, arrested in 1977 in Kampot on the pretext of going to Phnom Penh by train to meet his brother in-law, Nguon Eng.
The following might be helpful for the search:
Nguon Eng, alias Ny, an electrician, joined the revolution in 1967, or at the latest in early 1968, several months after Hou Youn, Hu Nim and Khieu Samphan fled to the forest. While in the forest, he was with cadre “Chab,” former chief of the Southwest zone and chief of mount “Veay Chab.” He was once deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Transport (under the Khmer Rouge government), and deputy chief of S-1, whose chief at that time was cadre Tauch Phoeun alias Phin. Nguon Eng was arrested and sent to Tuol Sleng prison (S-21) in 1978.
Cheng Chhun Sreng (my elder sister) was a chief of the children unit within the Ministry of Public Transport.
Cheng Kallyan alias Nei (my younger sister), a team leader responsible for child treatment at Russian Hospital, was arrested at night under the command of Son Sen’s wife, Yun Yat. In late 1976, cadre Leng Sim Hak, alias Sei, professor Tiv ol’s wife, transferred Cheng Kallyan to work at Calmette Hospital .

About Me
- Duong Dara
- Dara Duong was born in 1971 in Battambang province, Cambodia. His life changed forever at age four, when the Khmer Rouge took over the country in 1975. During the regime that controlled Cambodia from 1975-1979, Dara’s father, grandparents, uncle and aunt were executed, along with almost 3 million other Cambodians. Dara’s mother managed to keep him and his brothers and sisters together and survive the years of the Khmer Rouge regime. However, when the Vietnamese liberated Cambodia, she did not want to live under Communist rule. She fled with her family to a refugee camp on the Cambodian-Thai border, where they lived for more than ten years. Since arriving in the United States, Dara’s goal has been to educate people about the rich Cambodian culture that the Khmer Rouge tried to destroy and about the genocide, so that the world will not stand by and allow such atrocities to occur again. Toward that end, he has created the Cambodian Cultural Museum and Killing Fields Memorial, which began in his garage and is now in White Center, Washington. Dara’s story is one of survival against enormous odds, one of perseverance, one of courage and hope.
