They talked about their lives after this inhumane and heinous genocide of which they are witnesses, and about how important it is to preserve the memory of these atrocities, which should never have happened, let alone be repeated. Yet sadly, they are.
The messages of the Mothers of Srebrenica go beyond personal mourning and become a universal call for humanity, compassion, and responsibility. Their work builds bridges that show it is possible to create hope for a better world without violence and hatred, even from the deepest tragedies. The message they carry is all the more important in this time of yet another massacre unfolding before our eyes in Gaza.
You are invited to listen.
