Thanks for sharing, Sue. I would be very interested to hear more about your work. Perhaps you can visit us in Tuzla next time you are in BiH?

I travel to Bosnia with the Healing Hands Network Charity where we work on a voluntary basis giving professional healing holistic therapies to these survivors of war and camps, to help ease the post traumatic stress they suffer. Thank you for this moving video. It shows why i go each year. These people are amazing and dignified and should never be forgotten.

It must have brought the reality of what happened on the march home to you with a blow to hear the young man talk about watching the death of his father and brother like that. Good you had kind company to provide some cushion of humanity to the experience.

Hi Alison, you both portrayed the circumstances very well. It really brings back memories of the commemoration and the tension in the air at the time. I remember hearing the young girl sing, her voice echoing, and everyone was absolutely quiet. Glad the numbers being identified are rising though, it allows for more people to have closure as you said, but definitely difficult to understand and grasp what it means for the families so many years later. I hope everyone at Bosfam is well. Please pass my love.

Thank you to all who have had a chance to view and comment on the video. Kelsey and I did a short interview with Beba Hadzic, BOSFAM’s Director, on the importance of Srebrenica and what it means to her. I will be sure to post this to my blog as well as YouTube once it is complete.

Watching the simple, black clad, numbered coffins being carried by the men it hits me, again, it’s only us humans who behave in this unhuman way towards another.

Alison – The video really struck an emotional cord. Looking at the somber, grief-stricken faces brings new perspective to the situation in Srebrenica.
