Fifty years after the world said “Never Again” to the horrors of the Holocaust, genocide took place on European soil. The name Srebrenica has become synonymous with those dark days in July 1995 when, in the first ever United Nations declared safe area, thousands of men and boys were systematically murdered and buried in mass graves. The victims, who were Muslim, were selected for death on the basis of their identity. This was the worst atrocity on European soil since the Second World War.
Thirty years after the horrifying events of Srebrenica, Wales’ Remembering Srebrenica board alongside WCIA, Temple Friends and partners across Wales will unveil a permanent memorial in Wales’ National Garden of Peace, both to the victims of the atrocity and their families – but also to the efforts of present and future generations to hojnour their memory and learn the lessons of Srebrenica: to tackle hatred and intolerance to help to build a better, safer and more cohesive society for everyone.
