- Contents Summary
- The Physicians for Human Rights Vukovar mission, under the auspices of the United Nations War Crimes Commission, began its exhumation work on the site of the mass grave at Ovcara. The tape documents the process from initially marking an area to be exhumed to the analysis of bones and skeletons. Forensic anthropologist Clyde Snow is part of the team.
This grave was later determined, via subsequent PHR exhumations, to contain the bodies of patients and staff removed from the municipal hospital in Vukovar, taken to the edge of a ravine on the Ovcara collective farm, and massacred.
