This May 20, 2025 EIHR remembers the Cambodian Genocide. This day is officially observed in Cambodia as the National Day of Remembrance, commemorating the victims of the Khmer Rouge regime. This date was initially known as the "Day of Hatred" but was later renamed the "Day of Remembrance". It is a day for Cambodians to remember the estimated 1.7 to 2 million people who died during the genocide. Commemorations often include memorial events, religious ceremonies, and gatherings for reflection and healing. #CambodianGenocide #NationalDayOfRemembrance (fb)

Today EIHR remembers the Armenian Genocide by highlighting an important teaching resource for the classroom - The Road From Home by David Kherdian. David Kherdian re-creates his mother's voice in telling the true story of a childhood interrupted by genocide. Vernon Dumehjian Kherdian was born into a loving and prosperous family. Then, in the year 1915, the Turkish government began the systematic destruction of its Armenian population. A true story of courage, survival and hope. #ArmenianGenocide #DavidKherdian (fb)
