Bahira is originally from Zvornik, a town to the northeast of Tuzla. After Zvornik’s Bosniak population was violently expelled in 1992. Bahira was bussed out of Zvornik on May 26, 1992. She lived in a series of setttlements for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Tuzla throughout the war.
During the war, Bahira was separated from her husband, who spent over 14 months in a concentration camp. He was one of the few survivors of the camp, but died soon after his release due to lack of appropriate medical care. Bahira has been able to seek comfort and companionship from the other weavers at BOSFAM. Their war experiences closely resemble her own.
