"The Devil's Bar"- Potocari, Bosnia.

The shadow from a journalist can be seen in 'The Devil's Bar' at the former Dutch Bat HQ in Potocari on July 11th 2017

'The Devils Bar' is located inside the Potocari Memorial factory. It used to be the bar area for the Dutch soldiers during the war. This was a car battery factory in the Yugoslav time and the UN head quarters during teh war in Bosnia. Today, much of the buildings are left the way they were during the war, with old sawing blades left in one corner. However, some work has started repairing parts of the buildings as they are starting to deteriorate too much. George Pfrommer, a former Dutch Bat, painted the 'Café' painting as seen inside the bar.

22 years later.

"As the coffins arrive from Sarajevo, they are placed at the warehouse inside the old car battery factory which functioned as the UN head office during the war. Today, it is part of the memorial and the cemetory for the victims of the genocide in Srebrenica which which took place in July 1995". Well over 8000 people were murdered during the genocide in Srebrenica, 22 years ago. A new generation is growing up- the question is, are we any closer to reconciliation? More stories to come.
