Senahid Halilovic is one of the very few survivors of the Srebrenica massacre, also known as the Srebrenica genocide. From July 11-July 22, 1995, more than 8,372 Bosnians, mostly men and boys - were rounded up and killed. Amongst them were his father and all three of his brothers. He is one of the rare Bosnian men who managed to overcome the 'Road of Death' and survive the Srebrenica genocide by walking for one week, through mountain crags without any food or water. "After the genocide, I tried several times to count how many relatives I lost, but I never could. Their images begin to show up in front of my eyes as soon as I try to think about it; this causes me great distress, and I often find myself giving up. I remember my mother telling me once "Oh, my son, you have lost 70 nearby relatives." I usually saw them in my dreams every night. At night when I dreamt of them, and then woke up, I felt very sad. Once I awoke from this dream, I could not sleep again. As I lay awake, no matter what I did, I saw their images in front of me." "And I realized something else; that they are not dead, that they remain alive, because they were killed in the name of injustice. At that point I wished for them to be with me and talk to me, even within my dreams. After this epiphany, any time one of them (especially my brothers or father) talked to me, or even if I saw one of them in the dream I felt much better. After I saw them in my dream, I felt lucky, like I had done a good deed. But now, years later, this does not happen usually; I rarely see them in dream, and I miss them too much. Life is like that. Sometimes the same thing that tortures you at one time, you later miss and wish you could experience more often." Senahid currently has several wishes: to find out the complete truth and ensure that all the people of the world hear the truth about what really happened to Bosnia and to Srebrenica during the war against Bosnia in 1992-1995 and the genocide against Bosniaks 1995, that there may be peace, justice and harmony on planet Earth, and that Srebrenica is never repeated again to anyone.

Interviewing war criminals and their victims, Neuffer explains, through the voices of people she follows over the course of a decade, how genocide erodes a nation's social and political environment. Her characters' stories and their competing notions of justice-from searching for the bodies of loved ones, to demanding war crime trials, to seeking bloody revenge-convinces readers that crimes against humanity cannot be resolved by simple talk of forgiveness,or through the more common recourse to forgetfulness.

The massacre at Srebrenica of between 3000 and 5000 Muslim prisoners by Bosnian Serbs is one of the most horrifying tales to emerge from the bitter conflict in Bosnia. It changed the course of the war and led to the deployment of US ground troops in the area. It also became the first atrocity in modern times where the well-intentioned but ineffectual Western involvment contributed directly to the mass executions.
