The Srebrenica genocide was one of the worst atrocities in Europe since the end of World War II. It was committed by Bosnian Serb forces under the command of General Ratko Mladić, who were attempting to create a Serbian state in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
@prof.dr.cemibis
Over the course of several days, more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were systematically executed and buried in mass graves in and around Srebrenica.

The Srebrenica Genocide Memorial and Cemetery serves as a reminder of the horrors of war and the importance of remembering and honoring those who lost their lives. The museum offers exhibits that document the events leading up to the genocide and the atrocities committed during it. The cemetery is a place of pilgrimage for families and friends of the victims, as well as for visitors who come to pay their respects and learn about the tragic history of the region.
While visiting Bosnia and Herzegovina, if you lack time for the Srebrenica Genocide Memorial in Potočari, we recommend exploring the 11/7/95 Gallery in Sarajevo. Also, take a stroll to the large park and visit the Nermin Sculpture as well.
