Reaching the Mekong River, the border between Laos and Thailand, was very difficult. After coming close many never reached the river. Those that had made it across tell stories of seeing babies trying to nurse on rotting corpses not knowing that their mother is already dead.


I can remember, it was very, very clear, one of those things that I will never forget. It will be with me to the grave. We passed about four or five people before we got to the main group and they were crying and completely inconsolable. But that didn't prepare us for what we saw. The strangest thing is there were no jungle sounds at all, no birds nothing, no sound. There was a silence that you associate with impending doom. There were old people, fifty, sixty, seventy years old and their faces were wet with tears. I'm sorry... (Blenkinsop pauses here). It just seemed to go on and on.

They were saying, "how you could have left us here for so long? How you could you abandon us to live like animals, we are not dogs and we are forced to live like dogs?"

One guy described a scene of coming back into an area where they'd been attacked and seeing the severed heads of children on sticks. People are summarily executed. I spoke to a man who said "Bhun Si" is his name. He is in his his forties and he's got terrible terrible wounds. He was wounded in 1991 from a rocket attack and he has got a wound in his thigh that still needs to be treated. He has lost his left eye, his eyes, the left side of his face is molten and he has never seen a doctor or a nurse.

Taking into account all the victims of Nazi persecution, the death toll rises considerably; estimates generally place the total number of victims at nine to 11 million.

1. I Give My Heart To All Who Have Truly Suffered, Whether In America Or Beyond.
Suffering does not discriminate by race, gender, religion or region. To any and all who have ever truly suffered, my heart goes out to them.
