What exactly is Srebrenica Historical Project?
The long term goal of our project is to create a historical archive which would include testimony, documents, and the results of all sorts of relevant research which might shed some useful light on Srebrenica, viewed not as an event but as a phenomenon. When the issue of Srebrenica is placed in such a framework, its contextualization becomes indispensable. From a phenomenological standpoint, the issue of Srebrenica is exceptionally complex. There is marked disagreement not only in relation to what happened there in July of 1995, and why, but also in relation to the broader [and not merely historical] context of those events, going back not just three years, to the point when the most recent conflict in Bosnia/Hercegovina broke out, but considerably before that. We do not have any final word to offer, but we do suggest the following view which we believe is irreproachably correct: reducing Srebrenica to a couple of days in July of 1995 does not just trivialize the tragic events of that
