A Kensignton resident who grew up in Australia says she will never forget her family’s sacrifices to escape conflict in Cambodia.
Born to Cambodian refugees at a refugee camp in Thailand, Vesna Samreth arrived in Australia as a three-month-old baby in 1983.
Ms Samreth said her family was fleeing from Cambodian leader Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge regime and was supported by the then-government’s commitment for a peace settlement.
