In the hills of eastern Bosnia sits the small town of Srebrenicaonce known for silver mines and health spas, now infamous for the genocide that occurred there during the Bosnian War. In July 1995, when the town fell to Serbian forces, 12,000 Muslim men and boys fled through the woods, seeking safe territory. Hunted for six days, more than 8000 were captured, killed at execution sites and later buried in mass graves. With harrowing personal narratives by survivors, this book provides eyewitness accounts of the Bosnian genocide, revealing stories of individual trauma, loss and resilience.

To those who survived the Srebrenica genocide

and to those who did not

We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.Auschwitz survivor Elie Wiesel
