ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Srebrenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina

In 1991 in Srebrenica, there lived 37 213 people, of which nearly 73% were Bosnian Muslims and 25% Serbs.
During the Serb invasion of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995) Srebrenica became UN-supervised security zone that supposes to shelter thousands of Muslims from surrounding areas controlled by the Serbs.
The surrounding enclave was to defend the Dutch UNPROFOR unit. July 9, 1995, The Serbs launched an assault on the city. The Dutch branch did not take any defensive action, and the entire population of the town was in the hands of the Serbs now.
The Dutch, having strictly defined and very stingy UN mandate, were not able to defend the enclave effectively.
This led to the concentration of the population, the separation of women from men and finally to the greatest crime in the history of post-war Europe ...

The inhabitants and refugees were expelled. Over the following days around the city, more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys were slaughtered in the vicinity of the town.
