Survivor Stories 4
The Courage to Remember: Safet Vukalić
Safet Vukalić was saved from a concentration camp by his mother, who said he was too young to go “with the men”. Safet came to the UK as a refugee and has courageously shared his story.
The Courage to Build Bridges: Zoran Mandlbaum
Zoran Mandlbaum was one of the last people to cross the Mostar bridge before it was destroyed, whilst bringing aid to the Muslims trapped on the East bank of the city.
The Courage to Speak Out: Hasan Nuhanović
Hasan Nuhanović was a translator for the UN when Serb forces took Srebrenica in July 1995. Forced to translate the order to send his family away, he never saw them again. He has dedicated his life to seeking truth and justice.
The Courage to Survive: ‘Mirsada’
At the age of 15, 'Mirsada' was imprisoned in a rape camp as part of the campaign of 'ethnic cleansing' taking place across Bosnia. She has shown incredible courage to survive, raise a family and now tells us her story.
Our thoughts are with all those who have been affected by the tragic events in Sri Lanka. These reprehensible acts, committed by those who are driven by hatred, aim to create fear & division in communities. We must stand together in solidarity & show that they will never succeed.
This week marks 6 years since @SrebrenicaUK was founded. Since 2013, we've organised 6,200 memorial activities, educated 90,000 young people & created 1,200 Community Champions who pledge to stand up to hatred & intolerance. Grateful to all whose support has made this possible.

#OnThisDay in 2004, the Appeals Chamber in the Prosecutor v Krstić case unanimously found that genocide was committed in Srebrenica, describing it as a 'crime against all humankind, its harm being felt not only by the group targeted for destruction, but by all of humanity'.
Proud to welcome speakers, delegates and guests to discuss the steps to genocide and how to promote respect, peace and tolerance @SrebrenicaUK @WirralNEU @NEUnion @BritishRohingya #againsthate #notoislamaphobia #standuptoracism
