Please join our young volunteers in support of an event to honor, remember and pay respect to victims of genocide, Concentration Camps and other atrocities in the Prijedor region. Come to learn about International White Armband Day and how Prijedor’s Bosniaks and other non-Serbs were forced to identify themselves with white armbands, or face summary execution. 102 children were killed by Republika Srpska forces and their allies, the JNA. The area around Prijedor saw every form of concentration camp that the Nazis had invented: Internment, Extermination, Transit, Labor, Collection Points, Sub camps, and others. Sexual violence against children, women and men became a Tool of War.
Program schedule:
6:00pm Asr prayer with tehvid for Prijedor victims
7:00pm Youth Board and VoBG presentation downstairs.
This 24th Anniversary Commemoration is not about hate, or revenge. It is about Bosnians defending themselves against atrocities and crimes against humanity. It is about seeking justice and facing the truth.
Bring your family members to learn. Educate your next generation about our past for a better tomorrow for all Bosnians of all faiths. Our lessons are for all generations because the Bosnian genocide was against all generations. We will raise funds for a clinic in Kljuc. Currently this clinic’s medical staff have to carry patients and equipment on stairs, so there is a great need to purchase and install an elevator for medical use in this clinic. External Event Url
