In the shade of a quiet killing place

On 17 April 1975, Sam Sotha and his wife Sony, along with thousands of others, were forced by the Khmer Rouge to leave Phnom Penh. Weapons, torture, starvation, and forced labour were the fate of many Cambodians during the Khmer Rouge. In The Shadow of a Silent Place: A Memoir, Sam Sotha tells a touching personal story about the love and struggle of a couple to survive for four years held hostage by the Khmer Rouge. In the face of great cruelty and humanitarian tragedy, Sam Sotha's In The Shade of A Quiet Killing Place offers a beautiful portrait of love between a husband and wife who refuses to submit to the terror. Forced to leave their homes and move from camp to camp, Sam and Sony survive and witness family separation, torture, starvation, unknown murder, and worse acts than death. Despite all this, however, their spiritual bond is strong and unbreakable. The power of their love guides the couple through their darkest moments, when it seems only a miracle can save them from death.
