More students are arriving to take their places. Our work to preserve Bosnia's cultural heritage and to make it better known outside of Bosnia is also making progress. The Foundation is helping to sponsor books, articles, art exhibits, lectures, educational videos and Internet sites devoted to Bosnia's multicultural heritage. We're also working on a long-term project to locate and recover copies of unique manuscripts and historical documents the originals of which were destroyed by extremists during the war. Such efforts to promote education and culture in the aftermath of the war are crucial to help prevent a repetition of the horrors of the past five years in Bosnia.
Extremism feeds on ignorance, on slanderous myths and propaganda.
That is why extremists seek to destroy education and culture. During the darkest days of the siege of Sarajevo, Bosnia's vice-premier Mr Ejup Ganic was asked by a foreign reporter how Bosnians would revenge themselves for what had been done to them. We will build libraries. And we will be something that is good. That will be our revenge.
