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).
Richard Holbrooke died Monday at the age of 69. Holbrooke was a top-ranking American diplomat and chief architect of the Dayton Accords that brought peace to Bosnia. He was one of many Jewish people who stood against the genocide in Bosnia. May he rest in peace.
