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.

Srebrenica Remembrance: Thousands Gather to Honor Victims and Counter Genocide Denial

Tens of thousands of people gathered in Srebrenica, Bosnia-Herzegovina, to commemorate the 1995 massacre and bury the newly identified victims. Twenty-eight years after the genocide, 27 men and three teenage boys were laid to rest at a memorial cemetery, joining over 6,600 previously reburied victims. The remains of the victims are often found scattered across different mass graves, making it difficult for families to bury their loved ones in one place. The Srebrenica killings were the culmination of Bosnia's 1992-95 war, with Bosnian Serbs separating and slaughtering thousands of Muslim Bosniak men and boys. Despite convictions of Bosnian Serb officials for genocide, many Serbian and Bosnian Serb officials still deny or downplay the massacre.
