Remembering Srebrenica: Honoring Victims and Countering Denial
The Srebrenica genocide, where 8,000 mostly Muslim Bosniaks were killed by Serbian nationalists, was the largest genocide in Europe since the Holocaust. The dehumanization of Muslims played a significant role in allowing the genocide to occur. Remembering Srebrenica requires personal accountability and reflection, as well as humanizing the victims and acknowledging their individual stories. Without proper remembrance, the cycle of empty condolences and endless anniversaries continues.
