Srebrenica 1995.

Srebrenica then - a trauma without an end in sight...

In 1995, Srebrenica was a little town in the east of Bosnia with 5.800 inhabitants and approximately 35.000 refugees. In July 1995, the Srebrenica Massacre happened. Officials estimate a killing of 8.000 boys and men (between 12 and 70 years old). The killings were committed under the command of Ratko Mladic by units of the Army of Republika Srpska (Vojska Republike Srpske, VRS), the police and a Serbian paramilitary unit. The massacre lasted several days. The Srebrenica Massacre is the largest and worts mass murder in Europe since World War II. The UN and the International Court of Justice have classified it as a (tribal) genocide.

Srebrenica 2007.

Srebrenica today - endless hope...

• In 2007, the war is over. The scars stay. In 2000, the first refugees have returned- mostly women and children. Almost all women are single parents. They are heavily traumatized- they have been seperated from their men forcibly, as refugees they had to make ends meet for themselves and their children, they had to realize that they have lost all their relatives (there are women who lost their sons, husbands, brothers and all male relatives), for years they had to go to mass graves to identify the remains of their relatives. And they had to repair their destroyed homes without money and the help of relatives- always the fear in mind, that July 1995 could happen again...
