Remembering Srebrenica organised a commemorative event on Wednesday 8 July at the Welsh Assembly Building, in Cardiff – one of three official commemoration events in the UK including Westminster Abbey, in London and St Giles’ Cathedral, in Edinburgh. Some 120 people from across communities in Wales gathered to listen to Mother Nura Begović and survivor Nedžad Avdić speak about their moving and harrowing experiences of the genocide.
Educating young people is an important part of what we do. If you are a #teacher and wish to know more about how you can bring the lessons from #Srebrenica into your school, contact our @KSrebrenica for more details!
It is important that students are able to recognise how hatred in society can lead to the unthinkable - genocide. Today at @SrebrenicaUK, we are dedicating a whole day to education, and how we can better equip young people to tackle hatred and learn the lessons from Srebrenica.
26 years ago yesterday I left #Prijedor with one of my sisters and had to leave mother and my other sister behind. That day was the last time I saw my grandma. Had to leave my own home my country in the middle of #Europe in 1993 just because I am #Muslim and because I am #Bosnian
