Roundtable “Srebrenica - 30 Years After: How Do We Remember? How Do We Respond?”
The Section for South East European History and Anthropology organised a study trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina in May 2025. Places of remembrance and sites of crimes committed during the Second World War and the 1992-1995 war were visited, among others also Potočari and Srebrenica. The roundtable would like to discuss impressions of the trip by excursion participants under the question "How do we remember? How do we respond?".
