When the War Was Over Quotes

“Komphot remembers one night when the sounds were so close to his hut “I thought they were coming to get us. I thought to myself: It is one thing to suffer to live, another thing to suffer only to die. I decided to give it two years. If nothing had changed I would commit suicide.”
― Elizabeth Becker, When the War Was Over: Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge Revolution, Revised Edition
