Content warning: This episode deals with Khmer Rouge war crimes. We don't go into too much graphic detail, but it gets ugly. Be forewarned.
Harrison tells Deb and Denyse the story of how an archival classification system helped bring war criminals to justice. Along the way, we explore library metadata, the complexities of the cold war, some (nearly) lost music*, and the Walmart of communism.
Discussed in this episode:
Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam)
"Don't Think I've Forgotten: Cambodia's Lost Rock and Roll"
*"Rom Jongvak Twist" by Pan Ron
