Memorial Dinner
Remembering Srebrenica
MAKE A DONATION
Remembering Srebrenica remains committed to honouring the victims and survivors of the genocide.
Today, we turn to the important words of #MLK, that remind us of his fight against injustice and the lessons he left us with. We remember Dr. King and his wisdom, strength, and his fight against hatred and inequality.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”.
We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our dear friend Bernard Grunberg.
Bernard escaped Nazi persecution by emigrating to England on the Kindertransport. He married in 1947, and worked as an agricultural engineer, labourer & handyman.
Seems even more important than ever to remember those who perished in this horrific #Genocide. #Hatecrime #NeverForget #Srebrenica https://t.co/4jcQ4AlpRL
Why is it important to remember the genocides of the past?
Many reasons! Because the survivors deserve to be honoured and their pain recognised and because we, collectively, must learn from the hatred that led to genocide.
The very first Bosnian genocide prosecution occurred in September of 1997, when Serb soldier Nikola Jorgić was found guilty by the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Courts on 11 counts of genocide involving the murder of 30 persons in the Doboj region of Bosnia.
