The memorials of war





During the siege of Sarajevo, which was the longest siege of a Capitol City in modern times, the city was supplied by a huge tunnel as the only source of outside material. The tunnel came out in a house that looked like any others. Now the house has a section of the tunnel and a lot of information on the siege itself. We stopped in and got to enter a section of the tunnel. There is also a memorial in the Serbian section of the city which commorates the Bosniak forces killed by the Nazis. The Serbs do not take care of it as a symbolic gesture. We found a very sobering experience. We then visited a Jewish cemetary that the Nazis tried to destroyed but the folks of Sarajevo saved as much as they could.
