The permanent exhibition provides documentary scenes of what was left of Srebrenica in the wake of this genocide. With photographs and videos of the “wall of death”, family portraits, scenes of survivors lives, the scattered and gathered remains of the victims, and offensive graffiti, the gallery portrays the impossible justice and the abolition of time split between Anne Frank and the women of Srebrenica.

Visitors of the Gallery 11/07/95 are not just passive observers of the exhibit – they are living witnesses to the horror and injustice.

Through a wide range of multimedia content – images, maps, audio and video materials, the Gallery aims to offer its visitors the documentary and artistic interpretation of the events that took place during July 1995."

I thought I should leave you with a few photos from this gallery, now these photos are not mine, they belong to Tarik Samarah (the photographer) and I just got them off the internet, but I thought as so many people will have the chance to go to beautiful Sarajevo, it might be in your interests to see a few photos here. 

I'm not sorry for the distressing content, it has to be seen. And although it may seem out of place on my blog, it is something so close to my heart that I had no choice but to share it. Especially today, the 11th July, marking 20 years exactly since the genocide.

Remember to keep the victims and their families in your thoughts today, as they are in mine everyday.
