A Bosnian flag stands at half-mast, facing a wave of graves at the Srebrenica Genocide Memorial, symbolizing the over 8,372 Bosnian men and boys who were separated from their mothers, sisters, and daughters and killed by the Bosnian Serb Forces of Yugoslavia, amidst a war that ensued following a vote for independence from Yugoslavia. I visited the Srebrenica Genocide Memorial on Thursday, April 4, 2024. The gravestones at the memorial in Potočari, Bosnia and Herzegovina, bear profound significance, embodying the collective memory of one of the darkest chapters in European history. Each gravestone represents not just an individual life lost but also a tragic narrative of mass violence, ethnic hatred, and the failure of international intervention. (VX Photo/ Vudi Xhymshiti)
