Remembering Srebrenica

[Ursulla]

Remembering the most recent genocide in Europe. Remembering that the perpetrator actually shook hands with those who would have their lives ripped apart by it, used his hands to move them from one place to another, looked at their faces and knew he would slaughter their men. Remembering that in the many clamours around genocide and culpability, sometimes there are clear, irrevocable lines of evil.

Oh wow looks like not many people actually remember genocide, even at a time when lots of them talk about it.

Well I'll be damned.

I remember it. There are no words for how awful this was. A little presumptuous of you to state people don’t remember, we do. May their souls rest in an eternal peace they were not granted here in this life 💔

Possibly because you posted when so many people would be asleep??
Yes, I do remember. It was horrific. I was about 20 at the time and I couldn't believe it was happening again.

Yes, I remember. I was also about 20, it was horrific.
I remember Milosevic and the evil he committed.

I have just returned from Bosnia, lots of exhibitions about the genocide- very traumatic. I remember the war and the horrific coverage on TV but the exhibitions were something else - very explicit.
My kids have learnt a lot about the Balkans conflict this trip - and as they have commented- we as humans don’t learn from history. ( kids being late teens/ early twenties).

I absolutely remember. I was asleep when you first posted.
Weirdly I had spent several months in Yugoslavia (Croatia, near the border with Bosnia) in the late 80s because of my dad's job. So it felt very real to me.
