Historical Photos, by met on Dec 22, 2014 3:47:47 GMT 1, For anyone interested I highly recommend the book Bosnia 1992-1995
That photograph at 07:48 still shames and angers me.
It epitomised the international community's impotence and betrayal of Srebrenica, which was meant to be under the protection of the UN. All the more painful to my eyes because this genocide took place in Europe, not some geographically and psychologically distant alien land.
Background to the photo from a 2005 article (for which the woman's two children were interviewed):

I was 9 years old when this happened, and the subsequent well known newspaper had a very profound effect on me. I remember being totally confused by people celebrating the death of others, as the years went by I came to understand more about this embarrassing moment of war..
