Established in 2004 under auspices of the Cambodian Association of Illinois (CAI), the National Cambodian Heritage Museum & Killing Fields Memorial (NCHM) remains the only institution of its kind in the U.S.. It dedicates its programming to the Cambodian genocide awareness; advocacy for survivors and their families through story, memory, and history; healing arts; and youth leadership in peace building. NCHM's mission is to build community through shared healing through art, language, memory, and histories.
