About Sara Im:
Sara Im grew up in Cambodia and was held captive by the Khmer Rouge Communist regime at the age of twenty-one from 1975-1979. In four years, approximately 2 million people sadly died of homicide, diseases, & starvation in the Killing Fields of Cambodia, similar to the mass genocide of the Jewish in World War II.
She endured very harsh working conditions putting in very long hours in the rice fields under the hot Cambodian sun. She was given very little food or sleep, leading to Sara developing an illness. She prayed every day for God’s help and to provide her with the courage to overcome, and Sara would eventually find the strength to make a dangerous escape along with three of her friends.
Sara has chronicled her story of hope, love, and determination in her book, “How I Survived the Killing Fields.”
