Claire Ly, a philosophy teacher who grew up as a Buddhist, met the God of the West in Cambodian dictator Pol Pot’s “re-education” camps. She found him after the Khmer Rouge regime killed her husband and brother during the madness that led to 2 million deaths between 1975 and 1979, in a country with a population of 8 million. Today, the Cambodian exile will be at the the Vicenza Bible Festival in Italy, to talk about faith in dialogue and being a bridge between cultures. Her presentation, titled “Fede in dialogo: io, ponte tra le culture” will take place at 17:30 in Vicenza’s Palazzo delle Opere Sociali building. Live streaming of the event will be available on the www.festivalbiblico.it website.
