A woman who fled from Cambodia's murderous Khmer Rouge regime will be performing at two Holocaust Memorial Day events next week.

Dinal Bloomfield and her two daughters, Sinoun and Chantria, will be performing two routines, the Coconut Dance and Peacock Dance, which were outlawed by the regime in her homeland.

On January 25, two days before the memorial day, students from Chesterton School, in Battersea, and The Alton School, in Roehampton, will be reading out poems and taking part in a story-telling session with the Vayu Naidu Company.

Pupils will also be celebrating this year’s theme, Speak Up, Speak Out, and will learn about the rights, responsibility and duty people have to speak up when confronted by injustice - and the dangers associated with both speaking out and staying silent.

They will then be entertained by Mrs Bloomfield, who was just seven when the regime murdered her father in the 1970s forcing her family to walk from one side of the country to the other to escape.
