Dith Pran was one of those few souls who was able to escape the Cambodian Genocide. He was able to shed light on not only his experience, but also the suffering of many others. He left his mark on the world by contributing to the journalism and visual recognition of the atrocities that occur in this world. He remains a true hero. May his soul rest in peace and he remain in people's hearts.

When he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Dith discussed how Cambodians believed that "we just rent this body. It is just a house for the spirit, and if the house is full of termites, it is time to leave."

Dith survived in under Pol Pot's regime by "masquerading as an uneducated peasant, toiling in the fields and subsisting on as little as a mouthful of rice a day, and whatever small animals he could catch".
