Doha: In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of Srebrenica massacre, Al Jazeera Balkans has launched a collection of documentaries, picture galleries, interactives, maps, videos, award-winning short stories and reports on one interactive platform.
Srebrenica WEB Genocide Museum is a website to allow users access to archived information together with a 360 degree video tour of places where atrocities took place.
By collating human stories surrounding the massacre, alongside interactive maps and timelines, the site allows users to gain an in-depth understanding of the genocide and its aftermath.
Tarik Dodic, Managing Director, Al Jazeera Balkans, said the project allows people to learn the lessons of the genocide.
“The project is not just our contribution to commemorate 20th anniversary of the genocide, it’s our effort to contribute to the ongoing storytelling process, our effort to keep learning from Srebrenica case.”
The database provides users the ability to see the panoramic view of the location, watch full documentaries, photo galleries and additional Al Jazeera content.
It also provides drone footage of Srebrenica Memorial Centre Potocari and is available in Bosnian, English and Turkish.
“We believe our project will raise awareness of the genocide worldwide. Our obligation is to tell and share stories about Srebrenica and explain the complex event to the global audience.
“This is a long-lasting project that will be regularly updated with new content.
“The platform is adjusted for all PC, Mac, laptop, tablet and smartphone users,” said Edin Krehic, Senior Web Editor, Al Jazeera Balkans, and Manager, Srebrenica WEB Genocide Museum Project.
The killing of 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys by Bosnian Serb troops at Srebrenica was the worst massacre in Europe since the Second World War.
