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).

HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY

Today is Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, observed every year since 1959 by Jewish and other people around the world to never forget the murder of six million Jews in the Second World War.

Holocaust Remembrance Day is a day that has been set aside for remembering the victims of the Holocaust and for reminding the World of what can happen to civilized people when bigotry, hatred and indifference reign.

Please remember Holocaust victims. May their souls rest in peace.
