A commemoration event and candle lighting ceremony to remember the victims of the Bosnian Genocide.
In July 1995, over 8,000 Muslim men and boys were systematically killed and buried in mass graves as part of a political project to ‘ethnically cleanse’ Bosnia of Muslims by the Serb army. Thousands of women, children and the elderly were forcibly deported.
The theme for 2023 is ‘Together We Are One’ and the aim is to show that climates and cultures of hatred and extremism create the condition for genocides to occur, by dividing and breaking up communities.
This year, there will be speeches from a survivor and other speakers as well as a candle lighting ceremony, minute silence and musical performance.
Doors open from 9.30am.
Light refreshments will be provided.
