discovered years later somebody called my mother. our father was alive and. the same thing was when my brother. it was very important that they were filed for the very 1st of 4 hours and when they were buried. the understood just as a closure ready ready ringback ready ringback ready. i started walking and they were shooting again from everywhere. bullets were hitting one nearby tree trunks and

of course i both kids. thought what they would do to me before they kill me if they would chop off my ears they called my. and i was afraid of being tortured and because i heard the stories of of torture. i was thinking if i would ever see my family again and i was 19 and i could not believe that my life was ending in 1995 here in knees won't bosnian serb soldiers gunned down hundreds of unarmed muslim refugees from srebrenica they were trying to reach the town of tuzla 100 kilometers away which was under palestinian control the wounded world screaming for help and nobody could help them while hundreds were lying down here dead and while you could see to feel

that stench that smell of dead bodies on all. of the hot july. i have survived 6 days 6 things. i couldn't comprehend. i was both happy and sad happy that i say why but sad that i my father my from brother my uncle were not there. and son is meeting romney's new coach at the spot where it all happened grammies lives nearby and is another survivor. for many years ramos or spend his free time searching for reading separate death march and once again he has found something. her son has to decide whether the objects rummy's has found are of interest for this record and it's certain a moral vocal though this is part of

a parachute and i think this jacket is from the humanitarian aid in srebrenica. this is the area where one of the worst attacks happened and where the most people were killed in one attack around a 1000 people were killed here. for years romney's new carriage looked for the bodies of his father and 2 brothers he found many skeletons on his search later the remains of his family were found in a mass grave but he continued his search he often finds body found still today he goes on to inform the pathologists into those who carry out forensic investigations on site. here is a femur a joint capsule and the bone of a hand. course to free tickets or. i don't know if they're from the

same body. the experts have to decide. ramis found over 300 skeletons in this area around this hill trying to help the families. killed and he's still looking for them and he'll never stop till we are in the last week to genocide. like our son ramis no catch in some survived the death march through the woods. 18 years ago he returned to his house which was completely destroyed in the war and rebuilt it he found 4 more dead bodies among the ruins. today his son's family lives in the house they make a living from farming and some record through mieses story is documenting the

stories of the survivors for the memorial and strengthen its. in many of. the hardest thing was when i had to run away and leave my wife and son he was just 7 years old he flung his arms around my neck and said papa don't leave me the serbian soldiers will kill me that broke my heart. i pushed him off and i asked my wife to hold him and take him away. without looking back i left. romney's friends from the bosnian serb prosecutors who were hunting down all my own refugees he witnessed a further massacre with almost 1000 men killed did you see it yes yes i saw it with my own eyes and i mean. one of the wounded wanted me to kill him. i stood next to him and looked at him and. i couldn't help anything i didn't have the

courage to put him out of his misery. i thought how should i live with the thought that he might have survived. because i turned around and ran away you know while. his wife and his son also survived. instructor in it sir the horrors of the war are still visible today what was once a thriving miners' town in the serbian part of bosnia has become synonymous with mass murder. the memorial to the victims of the genocide is a few kilometers away it was founded in 2001 and is funded by private and state donations. a son his son of age guides visitors through 1st represents a memorial center where he has worked for many years. during the war these

buildings were part of the u.n. safe area tens of thousands of bosnian muslims fled into the safe area guarded by dutch blue helmets soldiers her son her son of it was one of the refugees who sought shelter here. murder and as sneaky expulsions by the bosnian serb army had been happening long before the genocide. and this is where they were. at the beginning of april may be made to do this is then killing a family in the street. and you know still picking them after shooting them where you see the desperate place of a man willing to fail i. after the breakup of yugoslavia bosnian serb nationalists waged a war of utter hatred on their muslim neighbors they shot raped and stopped them as was the tactic of the s.t.g.

combat troops known as arkan's tigers their goal was to create an ethnically cleansed a greater serbia. on facebook you can find more videos with the 1st 25 years after the genocide there are large gaps in the knowledge of what really happened is especially among young people both in. army cameramen documented the invasion of srebrenica and the flight of the town's muslim inhabitants in july 1905 general radko muggeridge later convicted as a war criminal celebrated his victory a few kilometers away the un safe area was ill equipped for the arrival of the refugees threatened by marriages combat troops the outnumbered un battalion withdrew abandoning thousands of refugees to the general and his soldiers. truck like that to fight this is the original truck or un truck from $85.00 they

did not stop the killings of civilians they did not stop the rapes of women and girls they did not stop the at the separations of men and boys from women and children during believe what they show is they were just observing just looking on while the crimes for being there is the responsibility of the international community in in failing to not just go to stop the fall of 7 for but also to save lives. the bosnian serb aggressors separated women and their children from all male refugees over the age of 15. they transported the young men to hidden places where they were systematically murdered. their own camera teams filmed the executions which were later denied by many who were politically responsible such as rad of encourage each.

was. the. even before the u.n. withdrew many refuge in the picture also joins the match. your way it's such a despair i mean we were in bruises in the suspected one path fate might be. $12000.00 man and use that to the words a son her son of each scene here arrives on the earth we were of this point the walking dead. i arrived here and i found i found my mother and my older brother and grandparents from the other side you know this man are barefoot like me only one 3rd of men and boys who tried to

walk that marred survived and told turds were killed. over 8000 people died in the biggest mass murder since the 2nd world war. a 2 hour drive away from srebrenica is a bustling multi-ethnic town of over 100000 inhabitants in eastern wozniak. to. mourn the achieve each and has sent her son of age have known each other for a long time one man has been living in terms of law for just a few weeks he is studying goal and is about to do his exams at the university of those law her son also wants to document me a story for the memorial. he started conducting interviews

a year ago and has already done over $100.00. more mia was 11 years old when his record it's a foul as a child he knew about the atrocities in drag by the bosnian serb soldiers he fled to the un safe area with his mother. what will be a leg up we were there in the buildings for about $3.00 to $4.00 days. there was no food no water nothing. nobody knew what would happen next and everybody was really frightened that. i literally felt the presence of a dark power. religious people would say the devil for satan. at one point i stopped eating the little food that we had lived i wanted to starve myself to death and the girls so i didn't have to take it anymore dorothy or the donna thought of being. so far neither her son nor mamiya have

received any psychological support. it's not true in my opinion and in my experience this time it's healing scars and strong that time is just the long walk for you in this way that after a while you accept. yourself and your bad experience. you weren't doing. what it says it. was. writing his own songs and making music with friends helps mamiya to banish painful memories. because he was. for several years together with other musicians and friends more man trying to turns represented so back into

a lively and livable town. that was. 70000 people lived in srebrenica before the war the town was also a tourist attraction now it only has around 10000 inhabitants even today the impact of the war is on the present. moment i helped to develop this youth center over 12 years for which he organized funding from holland and germany. the aim was for music to provide reconciliation and peace. but the project faint. now down it's empty you know people are not coming and you have just their memorial center and hauled down it is it's getting you know and it's going to be some kind

of big grave or something like that you know one big black hole what they call i mean this is my home but home like this you know empty home with all that hard things from the best you know it's just not there most fear i would like to create my own family so i must find some other solution somewhere else. or. this is the you tube policing. in the memorial center her son and his colleague are editing a video about the locations of the massacres they're hoping to receive private donations for the documentary project. many videos are available on you tube they are also putting the interviews with the

survivors online. we need to film as many stories as possible to create a database of personal stories for the future because if the stories are not to the core that. people die the stories will die with them and this is why it is very important that we record every survivor and if we can let go of some of. them. i like the way you've done this how you can see the photos behind her. her husband was captured and made by the balls in sort of marmion to call their son's name. forest and your loved ones name. there. was follow her around.

you know imagine situation any father having to call a son to death. and it became a cinema business. she testified about that in the hague tribunal. they were all killed she lost her husband and 2 sons now she lives alone on her own in her house and she has been living alone for 25 years that's the hardest thing is when i'm making a salad who for why why am i bothering to cook. everything is hard. i feel like i've been buried alive. when he has time as son visits of each with. this stupid coronavirus how are you guys going for music and really come on in.

because she has no remaining male relatives so leah gets financial support from the state over ness. her son prepared her for her role as a key witness in the war crimes tribunal in the hague she trying to look radko marriage in the eye while making her statement but he did not say a word to her she is firmly convinced that the war criminals will have to pay for their crimes in the next wound she's often asked why she returned to her house after the war the spite of losing her family the. parents of i decided to return to the place where i lived with my children and brought them up i felt stronger for it i am stronger and i've never regretted my return i'm proud of it. you know it must be hard for you sometimes when everything reminds you of that

. but it will only be as quick of course it's hard everything is hard but we think that they'll come back one day but i am strong enough to live with it i'm not the only mother who lost everything in the market. not far away in this building hundreds of men and boys were executed in july 995 after being captured. there is not even a memorial plaque to mark the crime. just a few minutes away from the scene of this or trust city is the hero's memorial to the bosnian serb soldiers. and just a few more kilometers away there is a monumental more moral and a poster paying homage to the war criminal general ratko marriage. neji had d.h. also survived one of the mass shootings of hundreds of prisoners together with her

son he is campaigning against the genocide deniers who claim that no mass murder took place in srebrenica in spite of established facts together the 2 men have published a report about genocide denial. and iris far more and more aggressive and denied their truth and their judgements and genocide. very actively in the last i was better hunker. the noble prize winner or is notorious genocide in iraq that's a big scandal the survivors the 3 because there is a very left that the fight against those who deny such crime and if we continue to do so and maybe in 10 years very very we will have a triumph of the evil here and war criminals and because of that maybe in 10 years my daughter current man of schreiber nitsa also denies the genocide he ignores our

other muslim villages in the serbian part of past. summer has son of age already had 3 years of exodus fear and expulsion behind her when she lost her husband in one of her 3 sons in 1905. so the notion that we had to live and sleep in the woods we lived in huts or holes in the ground because they destroyed all the houses in our village from serbia they shot at us with grenades and tanks she. said kerry said she. promised son of a cheese pound of her sons who are fighting for justice today omeo works as a t.v. journalist and is doing research on war criminals he is not allowed to talk about his work. some people following the regime's said that
