Srebrenica Memorial Week Events and Activities 2020

Over 1,200 memorial events and activities will be taking place in schools, local authorities, faith institutions, police forces etc as well as numerous individuals across the UK during this year’s Srebrenica Memorial Week from the 5th – 12th July. 

Everyone at Remembering Srebrenica could not be more proud of all those connected to the charity for stepping up to the unique challenge that Covid-19 has presented and coming up with alternative ways to ensure that we will still be able to mark the 25th anniversary of the genocide in a fitting way. Our eleven Board Chairs, Members, partners and 1,450 Community Champions have worked tirelessly over the last couple of months to generate innovative ideas, and as ever, we are immensely grateful to them for the invaluable support and commitment that they continue to provide to the organisation.

Below are just some of the incredible events taking place this year to mark the significant anniversary year. Follow our Twitter and Facebook to see more of the commemorations taking place across the UK.

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.

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.

By remembering, we can build a better world.

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.
