“The Lives Behind the Fields of Death” – Surviving a Genocide

In this special edition of TV Justice we bring you a testimony by Djulsa Velic, who survived the Srebrenica genocide. At the age of 49 she left Srebrenica in July 1995 alongside around 40,000 women, children and the elderly who were transferred in a convoy of buses and trucks from Potocari to Kladanj. During that summer more than 7,000 men and boys were killed in Srebrenica and its surroundings. Djulsa Velic’s story about surviving the genocide was recorded by the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network Bosnia and Herzegovina and Srebrenica Memorial Center as part of “The Lives behind the Fields of Death” project a month before her death.
