As every year on 11 July, Srebrenica mourns, not with a loud ceremony, but with quiet insistence on remembrance.
More than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were killed in 1995 after Bosnian Serb forces overran what had been declared a safe area. Many victims were buried in mass graves, their remains identified and reburied over the years.
The massacre, Europe’s only recognised genocide by the UN since World War II, took place in a UN-protected zone.
A new exhibition, Lives Behind the Fields of Death, was opened on Thursday, telling the personal stories of victims through items recovered from mass graves.
