massacred

The juxtaposition of a Jew (Schanberg) and a Cambodian with the defaced Star of David subtly links the Holocaust, a genocide of the past, to the more recent Cambodian tragedy.

It is the synchronicity between peoples who have been massacred that inspired the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust to exhibit \”Encountering the Cambodian Genocide.\” The exhibit features the photographs of Chantal Prunier, who visited Cambodia in the past year and came back with haunting images of mass graves, torture devices and survivors.
