Bosnia Remembers Sarajevo, 20 Years Late

http://talkbosnia.net/sydneyforum/?p=1299

Bosnia on Friday is remembering the 20th anniversary of the start of a civil war that saw the worst atrocities in Europe since World War II.

Exhibitions, concerts and performances will be held in Sarajevo to commemorate the 44-month siege that began on April 6, 1992 and displaced millions.

Hundreds of rows of empty red chairs — 11,541 in all — have been laid out through the town’s center to represent every person who was killed in the war. A section of tiny chairs was also installed to honor the hundreds of children who died. (ABC News Radio)

The siege atmosphere

Clouds above Sarajevo, everything is grey. And it’s quiet. All up to Titova street. Some sound reverberates off the sidewalk, air, reflects it off the walls of buildings
