Today is International Day of Innocent Child Victims of War. During the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, thousands of children were killed, and tens of thousands injured or displaced. Learning the lessons of that war, of the consequences of hatred on innocent children, remains vital.

In June 1992, the Bosniak community in Višegrad were subjected to some of the most brutal crimes of the war. Crimes committed in and around Višegrad included the use of rape camps, and civilians murdered in brutal ways, such as being locked in burning buildings. We remember them on this anniversary.

On this day we remember the 675 victims of the massacre at Bijeli Potok. Bosnian Muslim men and boys taken from villages around Zvornik and killed. The oldest was 80, the youngest only 15. Many victims were buried in mass graves along with the victims of other atrocities, including Srebrenica.

Today is Whote Armband Day, a day on which we remember the victims of the crimes committed in Prijedor. Those who were singled out and had to mark their homes. Those who experienced concentration camps and the horrors within. Learn more here: t.co/XXWgXabdZK
