''Meet the man who survived the biggest massacre since WWII'' wow. just wow

[xinyib]

It hurt me to see him leave; please, just leave that place. I know it's his homeland, but it seems like it'd be so much better to just move, to where those people can't haunt you anymore. . .

I’ve just realised, literally just realised something that’s brought a tear to my eyes. Back before the war my family and I went to then Yugoslavia on holiday. I was very very young. Maybe 5 or 6? Which would have been in 92/93. Long story short I did my self an injury (pretty bad injury) of my own making on this stone beach whilst I was a ways from my parents (I’m thinking it was the Croatian part of Yugoslavia). I’ve just realised the vague memory of the old woman who found me and took me back to my parents was definitely a Muslim. 100% I remember her attire so clearly, I remember a few key points of that day lol but her 100%. To think 3 or 2 years later what happened there...heart broken.

I hate to see how much trauma and lifelong agony this tragedy has caused this grown man. I don't think he will ever heal.

[fuzzydan]

That poor man. I hope his heart heals while he lives out the rest of his life. He'll see his family when he leaves this planet one day and he'll be so happy then... :)

[AMHAD.]

Very sad what they did to us
Their wrong politics is leaving us dead
Never forget Bosnian people and their pain

I am from Serbia 🇷🇸 and anyone who is from the Balkans will know we have lots of pride in our country among others, but even though I love Serbia and I try to see that anything we did is not bad this is still truly terrible. I am extremely sorry for people who lost loved ones even though I wasn't even born during this time. I hope that we call all be peaceful and be like family. 🇷🇸🇧🇦🇭🇷

[marinaclaire]

So sorry for all victims of the massacre and others affected by it. Sometimes (more like all the time), it seems that peace can never be attainable.

[justhannahbanana]

Poor guy. They should prosecute all who were involved in thosee murders!

[taz-on-the-looseyusef]

It is really terrrying, cant imagine the pain and fear

[personi]

S E R B I A did this. Remember the name.

[ChocoreetoRin]

I remembered when I watched this, that my best friends dad and his family survived this horrible massacre. She told me they survived by hiding in the woods, where they proceeded to live until they could leave the country.

[mirandagaby]

It's a big traumatism...rthat heartbreaking me... After the massacres I saw some families arrived in Paris like refugies, they was in shock, children with pts... I feld they saw the hell, it was really so sad...
À thinking for the victims and families🌺🕯️🕊️

[NB-kyol]

Here in Florida we have a lot of refugees that live here who escaped the Bosnian war. I’ve heard just a portion of their stories and it is tragic but it has a good ending.

[saschaskopic]

[AutodidactEngineer]

I feel bad for Bosnians..
Much love from Kosova

[emrebilgi]

"They're still walking around free laughing at my face". These cowards are still happy and proud of cold-bloodedly murdering blindfolded, disarmed people. But, don't worry, sir, their punishment in Hell will be forever and so severe that nobody would ever want to incur even one second of.

Also sorry for all Serbs who lost familys because big colonial countrys made people in Bosnia hate one another. Terrible what will some big countrys do to small ones.
