At dawn, that July 8th, it was thundering somewhere in the woods loud enough to wake us. That is when I moved to my shelter, next to the freezer, where the thickest wall was. During those few days, we ran so many times towards that thick wall in the house, and while running we used […]
Selma Jahić
The story of this watch is very dear to me. This watch belonged to my beloved grandfather, Suljo Salko Jahić. He was not just my grandfather but more like my second father. During the war from 1992 to 1995, we, my mother my little brother and I lived separated from my father for four years. […]

Remembering Srebrenica Comment on the desecration of the Srebrenica Genocide Memorial
We are absolutely disgusted that a bag of pig entrails was left at the Srebrenica genocide memorial on Orthodox Christmas Eve followed by the singing of fascist songs. This stands in contrast with the true meaning of Christmas, being that of love and unity. This vile, Islamophobic behaviour is not an isolated event, but comes […]

The Courage to Speak Out: Hasan Nuhanović

The Courage to Help: Dr Ilijaz Pilav
It probably wouldn’t be stretching the truth to state that Dr Ilijaz Pilav was the last man to leave Srebrenica. Forcing his injured patients into the care of unwilling UN staff, the doctor ran back to the post office to make a last ditch attempt to radio Sarajevo for help. As he raced across the […]

Please read this from my friend @aganovicalma. A powerful and personal reminder of why we must never forget what happened in Bosnia in the 1990s and why we must always work to stop the growth of hate which can end in genocide @SrebrenicaUK https://t.co/waj6VTp2iz via @MetroUK
