Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Memories of women who lived during the Balkans War, which filled with blood the former Yugoslavia from 1991 to 1999; they recount their lives and the decisions they were forced to take because of war. Marija Morana lives by choice in Vukovar and from here she saw the war. Vukovar is a place where “the people who pass through want to return, because of a strange form of affection: here you see the consequences of destruction, a destruction made by human being. People like you and me”. Jasmina Tesanovic is a writer from Belgrade. She recounts the meaning of being a total victim: a victim both of Milosevic and NATO, how one feels to suffer the violence of their government and those who will not give you opportunity because you are the “evil Serb”. Neva Tolle, from Zagreb, enlisted herself to defend with weapons ready in her hands, her son and her little house. Svetlana Broz is President Tito’s grand daughter. She left Belgrade, her quiet house, to go to Bosnia, to besieged Sarajevo, with her eleven year old daughter and without being afraid, “because even there live the children of someone”. Dunja Gelineo is from Dobrinja, an area of Sarajevo which was the front line during the siege. Dunja has learnt to recognise the ethnicity of the name of people, she didn’t know this before, she didn’t even know what nationality she was, before.
