In May 2015, pupils and teachers from Witton Park Academy, in Blackburn, travelled to Bosnia-Herzegovina on our ‘Lessons from Srebrenica’ programme of educational visits to witness at first-hand the testimony of survivors and Mothers who lost loved ones in the Srebrenica genocide. Here, they give their accounts of the experience – filmed at the Srebrenica-Potočari Memorial Complex – where some 6,000 genocide victims have now been laid to rest.

Bosnia has seen several incidents of the glorification of war criminals in recent days. These incidents appear to be part of a longer term pattern that are fuelled by local organisations.
