Genocide of the Muslims in Bosnia (PDF, new window)

[During the war,] the Muslims went to school first, and the Catholic Christians went afterwards. We did not attend class together. We didn’t learn the same history… Before, we all went to public school together; there were no tensions.

—Adis Simidzija, Bosniak-Québec writer [translation]
