Unspoken Genocide

Hundreds of thousands of people vanished during a bestial genocide committed by the Independent State of Croatia during World War 2. Concentration camps for children from age one run by the fascist Ustashe movement meant that children from Serbian, Jewish and Roma families have witnessed unimaginable horrors. Unlike elsewhere in Europe, though, those, who survived, were not free to talk about their experience nor have they heard a proper apology. Unity and brotherhood policy meant that they were silently building new state alongside those who slaughtered them during war. I spoke to 20 survivors of the genocide about their terrifying childhood and years that followed. Photo journalistic book Unspoken Genocide is due for launch in January 2017.
