Srebrenica Genocide Memorial

Description

The Srebrenica Genocide Memorial was built to commemorate the Srebrenica massacre, committed in July 1995 by Serbs against Bosniak Muslims during the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The site today is basically a cemetery, where some 6000 victims of the atrocities are buried, and continue to be buried once identified which is an ongoing process. In addition there is a kind of museum in the nearby former car battery factory, where many of the victims had tried to seek refuge. Srebrenica stands for the worst genocidal atrocities committed in Europe since the Holocaust.
