Surviving the Pol Pot genocide was next to impossible. Once a group was rounded none of them was ever released. After torture and interrogation, sometimes stretching over several months, all of these men, women and children were brutally put to death. The Khmer Rouge in retreat had some help from American relief agencies - 20,000 to 40,000 guerrillas who reached Thailand received food aid -and the West also ensured that the Khmer Rouge (rather than the Vietnam-backed communist government) held on to Cambodia's seat in the United Nations: the Cold War continued to dictate what allegiances and priorities were made.
