Description: "In July 1995, more than 7,500 Bosnians from the city of Srebrenica were massacred by troops of the Bosnian Serb Army. Another 30,000 women and children were forcibly removed from their homes in this United Nations-declared "safe area." The siege of Srebrenica, while it represented the greatest atrocity witnessed in Europe since the end of world War II, was only one episode of a larger war against the people of Bosnia-Herzegovina in the 1990s. One quarter of a million people lost their lives in that war, and another 2.5 million were displaced as refugees." "As many as 20,000 of those Bosnian refugees - approximately 500 of them survivors of Srebrenica - have come to settle in St. Louis. After the Fall documents the tragedy of Srebrenica and its effects on the lives of one extended family in St. Louis. Through richly textured photographs and first-person interview narratives with members of the Oric family, the following pages present the sequence of events that led to the siege of Srebrenica, the genocide that followed, the refugees' journey to St. Louis, and the ongoing efforts of thousands of survivors to build new lives while awaiting word of loved ones still reported as "missing.""--Jacket.
