More than 600 Novo Sarajevo elementary school students visit Potocari Memorial Center

The first group of students was accompanied on the visit to Srebrenica by representatives of the Novo Sarajevo Municipality and municipal councilors Arslan Ducic and Nedim Salihagic. Salihagic briefly addressed the students, emphasizing the importance of fostering a culture of remembrance, preserving the truth about the Srebrenica genocide, and passing historical facts on to younger generations.

The students paid tribute to the victims of the genocide and attended a joint history lesson, after which they visited the Memorial Center's museum and exhibition displays.

They also watched the documentary "One Week in July" and viewed the exhibitions "The Srebrenica Genocide: The Failure of the International Community," "In the Footsteps of Those Who Did and Did Not Cross," "Lives Behind the Fields of Death," and the "Genocide Museum." Through these displays, they gained first-hand insight into historical facts, authentic testimonies, and the scale of the suffering of Bosniaks in July 1995.

The project aims to help students develop an awareness of the importance of truth, justice, and preserving a culture of remembrance through first-hand exposure to the historical facts of the Srebrenica genocide, while also helping them understand the importance of respecting the victims and the responsibility of future generations to preserve historical memory.
