Hajrija Dzozic










Before the war, Hajrija was a housewife in Srebrenica. Her family was quite well-off and had two homes: one in Srebrenica and another in Bratunac. Then, Serbian forces attacked Srebrenica and her life changed forever.

“I lost around 50 relatives, including one brother, all of my closest family, all of my cousins,” Hajrija said.

Hajrija was forced to flee Srebrenica with her daughter when the safe area fell. She has moved repeatedly since arriving in Tuzla, and states that she and her daughter are “barely living.”

Hajrija’s home in Srebrenica was destroyed, and all of Hajrija’s belongings, including 11 carpets, or cilims, were stolen from both houses. The current atmosphere in and around Srebrenica makes the idea of return to the home in Bratunac particularly difficult.
