Seller's Description:
Tamar Feeser (Author photograph) Very good in Very good jacket. [8], 245, [3] pages. Maps. Historical Note. In 1975, Molyda Szymusiak (her adoptive name) was twelve years old and leading a relatively peaceful life in Phnom Penh. Suddenly, on April 17, Khmer Rouge radicals seized the capital and drove all its inhabitants into the countryside. The chaos that followed has been widely publicized, most notably in the movie The Killing Fields. Murderous brutality coupled with raging famine caused the death of more than two million people, nearly a third of the population. This powerful memoir documents the horror Cambodians experienced in daily life. Molyda Szymusiak, (born Buth Keo; October 19, 1962) is a Khmer author and photographer born in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Following the Khmer Rouge takeover in April 1975, she and her family were driven out of the capital city into the Cambodian countryside. Nearly all of her immediate family was massacred or starved in the famine that accompanied the ensuing genocide. She and three other members of the family survived, arriving at the Khao-I-Dang refugee camp on the Thai border in 1980. In 1981, she and two of her cousins were adopted in Paris by Jan Szymusiak, a French professor and theologian of Polish extraction, and Carmen Affholder. In 1984, she published a memoir on the Khmer Rouge years, originally written in French (Les Pierres Crieront), then translated into English and published under the title The Stones Cry Out. The book is important as one of the few first hand survival narratives of the obscure Pol Pot years of 1975-1979 in Cambodia. Derived from a Kirkus review: Now living in Paris, Szymusiak recounts the damnation and sheer agony of her Cambodian childhood under the Khmer Rouge, from age 12 to 17, including the deaths of her parents, siblings and relatives. Szymusiak is the name of her adoptive family in France. The author was born into a family of high government officials in Phnom Penh in 1962, but her autobiography begins during the Khmer Rouge takeover in 1975. Few people will ever have experienced a childhood of such relentless horror, even vicariously through print. In Molyda's first paragraph she describes motorbiking along the road home during a shelling and rocket bombardment, beside a headless man "still pedaling even though his head had been blown off! His bike crashed into the closed front gate of a high school..." The family's name was Buth Keo but they changed it to the safer "revolutionary" name of Bang Peuw. Any hint of her family's origins would have meant execution after the Khmer Rouge drove the population of Phnom Penh into the countryside, turning these city people into a slave work force. Twenty people were in her father's and uncle's combined families, and of these only Molyda and three younger cousins survived. Everyone worked despite sickness, if he expected to eat, since all food was strictly rationed in the slave camps. If you were too sick to stand up in the rice fields or to haul dirt for road building, you could weave rushes for grass mats, however malarial or shaky you might be: human bodies were used to the last drop of energy before being tossed into the pit of corpses behind the hospital. Death was everywhere, with bodies rotting along roads and trails, floating in rivers and ponds and in the drinking water. Bodies wearing jewelry were left in the open to tempt the unwary. Holding hands, naked couples with their throats cut lay under trees: "They got married without permission. Rules must be obeyed." Wolves roamed about; snakes reared up in huts. Molyda's mother's body was stripped of its fancy blouse and thrown naked into a mass grave, where her husband already lay. Gradually Molyda's elders, brothers, sisters and cousins died. In their slave village, only 100 people survived out of an original population of 1000; only three people are alive from the ten families surrounding hers. Eventually Molyda and three cousins reached a refugee camp on the Thai-Cambodian border in 1980,...
