Survivors of Cambodia's four-year genocide on Saturday told AFP they were "thrilled" that the site of their lives' biggest horror has gained UNESCO recognition."I am so thrilled," said Chum Mey, one of just a handful of S-21 survivors who now sells his memoirs in the prison compound where he says he was beaten, electrocuted and starved.
