Contents Summary
This program consists of testimonies by Bosnian Muslim survivors of ethnic cleansing and victims of rape, accompanied by statements by Alija Izetbegovic (President of Bosnia), Jakub Selimoski (head of the Islamic Community in the former Yugoslavia), an injured Bosnian soldier, Dr. Hukovic (an historian), and a local writer. Selimoski talks about the consequences of the conflict—a conflict he defines as Serbian aggression—and the destruction of Islamic cultural heritage in Bosnia. Dr. Hukovic attempts to explain the history of Islam in Bosnia and the genocide of Muslim people. Izetbegovic talks about the tradition of religious tolerance in Bosnia and his concerns that Muslims will vanish due to the war. Sfinga & Slovenia Television/Bosna Studio.
