> Tima Avdić
Tima, like many other weavers, originally comes from a small town in the Srebrenica municipality. In addition to being a skilled weaver, she is also a talented baker.
Tima's husband, Alija, was killed while fleeing through the woods from Bosnian Serb forces during the siege of Srebrenica. He was identified and buried in 2004.
Incredibly, Tima’s son managed to escape from Srebrenica during the massacre. He was shot twice and wounded in the foot. Somehow he managed to stay alive, and was brought to Tuzla by the only other person who survived the shooting. Due to his first-hand information concerning the massacre, he was a crucial link for the international criminal tribunal in The Hague.
Tima’s son currently works in Srebrenica. Tima lives with her eldest daughter in a home given to her by the municipality. Her younger daughter is on scholarship
and studying in Sarajevo. Back
