They were all Bosnians, and they were all Slavs. They all lived in the same northeast Bosnian city, Tuzla. They went to the same schools, hung out at the same cafes. They also all went downtown, to the kapija (central street) on May 25, 1995 - the Day of Youth in Bosnia - to celebrate highschool graduation with graduates with friends. They were also all killed by a single shell - one, single bomb - launched from a Serbian position several kilometers away. As the parents of Tuzla collected the pieces of an entire generation wiped out in garbage bags, news of their 'success' reached the soldiers and they fired more shells into the city. They continued to do so throughout the night, and during the funerals several days later. It took an entire issue of the local newspaper to list the photographs and names of those killed.  The children were not burried in the individual Muslim, Roman Catholic, Orthodox Christian, and Jewish neighborhood cemeteries. Their parents decided instead to bury them all together in a special cemetery solely for that purpose.  "They would have wanted it that way." was the most common sentiment, and indeed - it was probably true. Tuzla is today the most diverse city in Bosnia and Herzegovina. During the war, it was the only city in the country that did not elect nationalist or otherwise extremist parties. It was the only city that accepted refugees of every religious background. It was the only city which was not near, or involved, in any of the fighting. And still they attacked. Today, through the actions of those who survived and the parents of the victims, Tuzla is one of the most prosperous cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It consistently comes out on top in polls about quality of life and satisfaction with life. It's schools are not segregated, its - by all accounts - a religious utopia of sorts. That's the power of the religious tolerance and that was their miserable failure. The soldiers can take lifes, they can take infrastructure, but they cannot take souls and nor could they shake the centuries-old tradition of diversity. So we won, in every way we could have won. That's the moral of this thread. Take it, wrap it away, put it in your heart, and never forget. And please, remember them in your prayers.

When will our thirst for blood end?
May God have mercy on us all!
