Exhibit raises awareness of Bosnian genocide

Lined images and stories of emaciated men, violence and grave sites from the Bosnian genocide provide a stark contrast to the quiet chatter of students and the clicking of keyboards in the Robert R. Muntz Library.

These photographs are displayed as part of the ‘Prijedor: Lives from the Bosnian Genocide’ exhibit, organized by the Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission.

The exhibit features 34 panels lined on the clear glass walls of the second floor of the library that show and tell the story of the survivors of the Bosnian War and genocide.

The purpose of the exhibit is to educate the public and give memory to the lives lost during the Bosnian genocide.

That’s right. Genocide didn’t end with the Holocaust during World War II. It happened from 1992 to 1995 in the country of Bosnia -Herzegovina, formerly known as the Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia.

“We like to think that those times are past. But they’re not,” Jeanne Standley, director of Robert R. Muntz Library, said. “It hasn’t been that long and yet still we have that kind of intolerance and inability to work through our differences.”

The first of the panels show the history of Bosnia and the events leading up to war. It’s closer to the end that the horror stories of the genocide are told.

The exhibit also has a 40-minute video where survivors of the war speak about their experiences.

Standley said she wants students to become aware that genocide can happen anywhere and that it’s not just a problem that occurred in the far past.

“The library is a place to come and study and do your research. But it’s also a place to learn about topics that you didn’t know about,” Standley said.
