DID YOU KNOW?  -- Three years before the 1995 Srebrenica Genocide, Serbs torched Bosniak villages and killed at least 3,166 Bosniaks around Srebrenica. In 1993, the UN described the besieged situation in Srebrenica as a "slow-motion process of genocide." In July 1995, Serbs forcibly expelled 25,000 Bosniaks, brutally raped many women and girls, and systematically killed 8,000+ men and boys (DNA confirmed).

SERBIAN WOMEN HONOR BOSNIAK VICTIMS OF SREBRENICA GENOCIDE

SERBIAN 'WOMEN IN BLACK' HONOR VICTIMS OF THE SREBRENICA GENOCIDE IN BELGRADE, SERBIA



"The shoes, with messages stuffed inside them from Serbian citizens, are a makeshift memorial to the thousands of victims of the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, the largest mass killing of civilians in Europe since the Holocaust. It was 15 years ago, on July 11, 1995, when Bosnian Serb paramilitaries under the command of General Ratko Mladic occupied the UN safe haven of Srebrenica, where Bosnian Muslims had taken refuge. The soldiers separated out the men and boys and took them away. Over the next seven days, they killed more than 8,000 of them in the most notorious event of the 1992-95 war in Bosnia-Herzegovina."
