A Cambodian Buddhist Temple in Rural Minnesota Twin Cities PBS

Shortly after US troops withdrew from Southeast Asia, Cambodia's Khmer Rouge--having been fortified during the Vietnam War by other communist forces in the region--began a brutal genocide, wiping out nearly 25% of the country's population and causing several thousand more to flee.

Of the estimated 275,000 Cambodian Americans in the US today, only about 10,000 make Minnesota their home, yet the small rural community of Hampton, MN is home to Watt Munisotaram, North America's largest Cambodian Buddhist temple. Learn the story of this unlikely monument and it's ongoing significance to the state's Cambodian population.

This piece was produced for Almanac as part of the One Greater Minnesota initiative and appears on the Minnesota Remembers Vietnam Story Wall. To learn more about the Minnesota Remember Vietnam initiative, visit MNVietnam.org.
