Honor the National Day of Remembrance for the Cambodian Genocide with a day of learning. Join the Cambodian Genocide Resource Center and Facing History & Ourselves in discovery as we discuss how to bring genocide survivor testimony into your classroom to foster empathy, deepen historical understanding, and spark student engagement.
