The crimes of Khmer Rouge and the killing of Emil Grunzweig display two situations where essentially bad humans attack the better good in their society. Khmer Rouge, the name given to members of the Communist Party of Kampuchea in Cambodia, purged one to two million Cambodians, including almost all of the intellectuals of their society, from 1975 to 1979. During their four years of power, the Khmer starved the population and executed groups of people they had deemed enemies of the state. People who received an education or possessed stereotypical signs of knowledge, such as glasses, fell in this category. The most common way to execute these people included working them to death in work fields, similar to the Nazi work camps thirty years before.
