The voices of our dead have not faded away': the fight for the memory of genocide in Srebrenica
Briefly

Three decades after genocide, memories worldwide are fading, aided by efforts to conceal evidence. However, remains continue to be found near Srebrenica. A recent group burial in Bratunac for identified victims included prayers led by imams. Attendees gathered at the cemetery, including Hajrudin Paraganlija, who buried his wife and child, feeling a kind of peace yet deeply affected by grief for those still missing. Local Serb interactions were absent, highlighting a lingering silence surrounding the past and its impact on the community.
In Bratunac, a group burial was performed for victims' remains identified over the preceding year. Imams gathered to pray before a line of coffins draped in the Bosnian flag.
Hajrudin Paraganlija attended the graveside of his family, buried more than 30 years after their deaths, expressing a semblance of peace in knowing their locations.
