Remembering Srebrenica
@srebrenicauk.bsky.social
Remembering Srebrenica is the UK charitable initiative that promotes Srebrenica Memorial Day on 11th July and educates about the consequences of hate.
Today is Bosnia & Herzegovina Statehood Day. It is also 30 years since the Dayton Agreement which ended the horrific 1990s war there. It all makes it even more important that we uphold the integrity of Bosnia & Herzegovina with a future rooted in democracy and equal rights.

Today's "Letter From Bosnia" comes from Mevlida Jusic. "I must never forget what happened because it's the least I can do for my husband and brothers. I pass the truth about their deaths on to my son because he needs to know what evil and hate can do." #Srebrenica30

This year’s theme - Remember Yesterday, Act Today - echoes louder than ever.
We remember the past not only in grief, but in our actions - against denial, against division, against hate.
We honour the victims & survivors, & we challenge hatred wherever it appears.
