Memorial Day 2014 – Lancaster House, London
Remembering Srebrenica held the 2014 Memorial Day event at Lancaster House, in London. The event was attended by dignitaries from the UK and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The beautiful National Library in Sarajevo was destroyed in 1992 by Serb forced and with it over 700 manuscripts and incunabula as well as most of the books. It rose again in 2014 showing us all that books and knowledge are always worth protection and love.
Happy #WorldBookDay! The lovely thing about books is that they don't just take us away to different worlds but they serve as lessons to teach us even of the most painful parts of history.
We are thankful for the role that books play in allowing survivors to speak truth to power.
CW: Bosnian War Rape Survivors ‘Still Afraid to Speak Out’
During the Bosnian genocide 20,000-50,000 women were victims of a systematic campaign of rape utilised to further the genocidal goal of ethnic purification. We stand with these brave women. https://t.co/YeihA3AxTA
