Summary: “Srebrenica is a small town located in eastern Bosnia, close to Drina, the river marking the boundary between Serbia and Bosnia Herzegovina. Here, in July 1995, was committed the only genocide in Europe after WWII. In a few days Serbian nationalists killed 8.106 Bosnian Muslims males”.
“The Srebrenica massacre symbolizes Western politics in Bosnia Herzegovina. For three years, Europe, America and the United Nations ignored ethnic cleansing”.
“Beyond the 8.106 Bosnian men massacred, about thirty thousand women, mothers, widows, daughters and sisters were left behind. Twenty is the average number of sons, brothers, husbands, fathers and cousins they have lost. Most women in Srebrenica are now abandoned, forgotten, living in misery. Many of them are still waiting the remains of their family to be exhumed from the mass graves”
