Keeping alive the memory of the crimes committed in July 1995 is just part of what is owed to the victims and the communities that mourn them. Remembering painful truths about the past is the key to our shared quest for a better and more tolerant world.Ephraim Mirvis – Chief Rabbi
Rt Hon. Robert Jenrick MP
Today we meet a generation on the worst atrocity committed in mainland Europe since the Second World War. We come together to pay our respects to the victims and to honour the bravery of those who survived the horror that took place in Eastern Bosnia 25 years ago. Bosnia and Herzegovina is not very far […]
Secretary Madeleine Albright
July 11th is a day for people of all faiths and nationalities to come together and commemorate the Srebrenica genocide. We mourn the loss of more than 8,000 victims. We honour the memory of those only now being laid to rest and those still missing. Five years ago I was honoured to be there with […]
Sir Keir Starmer MP
As we mark Srebrenica Memorial Day it seems incomprehensible that just 25 years ago such an inhumane genocide took place on our continent. Described by the United Nations as the, “worst crime on European soil since the Second World War”, the killings at Srebrenica took the lives of over 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys […]
Imam Qari Asim MBE
25 years ago, the genocide of more than 8,000 Bosnian men and boys took place on the doorsteps of Europe. The violence, mass-scale rape and systematic killing of Muslims in Bosnia symbolises the horrors committed against Bosnians during the conflict between 1992-1995. I have visited Srebrenica many times and have felt that death still haunts […]
Chief Rabbi Mirvis
25 years ago, the world failed more than 8,000 vulnerable and innocent people, who were the victims of prejudice, hatred and violence. We have a collective responsibility to remember the Srebrenica genocide. However, remembering is not good enough. In the Hebrew bible, the term for remembering is ‘Yizkor’. Yizkor does not only mean a cerebral […]
Cardinal Vincent Nichols
I am very glad to have this opportunity of sending this message for the Srebrenica Memorial Day here in the UK. This year marks the 25th anniversary of that terrible genocide, the worst atrocity in European soil since World War Two. The genocide was the high point, the culmination of years of campaign of hatred […]
Adama Dieng
Excellencies, distinguished participants, dear colleagues, I would like to begin by sincerely thanking the organisers of this poignant and important commemoration. To me, remembering what happened in Srebrenica 25 years ago constitutes not only responsibility that we all share in humanity but also an imperative to prevent the commission of such crimes in the future. […]
Christiane Amanpour
I am Christiane Amanpour, and thank you for asking me to join in remembering Srebrenica 25 years on. And remembering also that the theme is “Every Action Matters“. So let’s just go back to the early 90s when mayhem was taking place in Europe. After WWII we were raised to say and to be believe […]
Angelina Jolie
I’m thinking today of the Mothers of Srebrenica, and all the other survivors, whose husbands, brothers, sons were murdered in the genocide twenty-five years ago. I think too of the victims, in particular the children, who were denied the chance to live and love and have families of their own. It is a loss beyond […]
Former President Bill Clinton
I want to thank the Remembering Srebrenica UK foundation and all of our British friends for inviting me to address you today. I am very grateful for the chance to say just a few words on the 25th anniversary of the genocide. In 2003, I was honoured to take part in the dedication to the […]
Yusuf Islam: Srebrenica victims’ innocent blood still cries loud for justice
Remembering Srebrenica is honoured and grateful international humanitarian Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) has written this moving piece about the 25th anniversary of the Bosnian Genocide. While the attention of world powers move to confront the toxic threat of Covid-19, isn’t it time the world also addresses that much more diabolical and corrosive pandemic threat […]
