The National Cambodian Heritage Museum and Killing Fields Memorial is the only space of its kind in the United States dedicated to the victims of Khmer Rouge. April 17 is the Cambodian Day of Remembrance, where people from around the local community gather to reflect on the genocide's meaning for Cambodians in America today.
