Over 62,000 Bosnian-Dutch live in the Netherlands. Thirty years after the genocide in Srebrenica, their stories are still hardly heard. How do you live on with war trauma, in a society that does not know your story, does not understand or perhaps does not even want to see it? And what can we learn from these people if we listen to them?
The 11 voices of Srebrenica is a multimedia project that places the stories of Bosnian Dutch people about the genocide at its centre. The focus thus far has been on the involvement of the Netherlands in the failed peacekeeping mission and the Dutch blue helmets. But the stories of first and second generation survivors remain overlooked. Through the podcast The 11 voices of Srebrenica and the exhibitions by the same title, these stories are given a lasting place in Dutch history while the existing views are broadened.
