Dzemila Delalic who had lost 32 members of her family in the Srebrenica genocide, has died at the age 79 and was buried in Tresulje near Potocari, eastern Bosnia.

This year, tens of Srebrenica genocide victims will be buried in the Potocari memorial on July 11. While many mothers will find peace along with their loved ones whose bones they will bury, many will not.

One of the mothers who could not live to see all of her family members rest in peace was Dzemila Delalic who devoted her life after July 1995 to finding the truth. She testified in trials in Zagreb, Belgrade and the Hague.

“I was in Srebrenica. I watched Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadzic. I know them all. The Serb army threw bread at us like we were dogs. But the nights and all the chaos that ruled the Potocari at that time, those things are indescribable. Potocari can never be forgotten,” Delalic said once.

A documentary film about her titled “Dzemila Dobraka” was also recorded. The film shows her life and the lives of other mothers and the struggles they face in finding their loved ones.

On July 11, 1995, more than 8,000 Muslim Bosniaks, mainly men and boys, from and around the town of Srebrenica were killed. The killings were perpetrated by units of the Bosnian Serb Army of Republika Srpska (VRS) under the command of Ratko Mladic. The Scorpions, a paramilitary unit from Serbia, also participated in the massacre.
