Sarajevo to Srebrenica Memorial Center: Private day trip

The Srebrenica Memorial Center remembers one of Europe's darkest modern tragedies. Located at the former Dutch UN battalion headquarters in Potočari, the $5.8 million complex combines both a cemetery and exhibition spaces. Over 6,600 white marble headstones mark individual graves, while a sweeping memorial wall displays the names of 8,372 victims. Here, you can experience powerful exhibits featuring photographs, personal belongings, and survivor testimonies that document the systematic murder of Bosniak men and boys in July 1995. The memorial both honors victims and educates future generations, which is a difficult yet essential task. Annual commemorations on July 11th draw thousands, including international dignitaries, as newly identified remains continue to be buried. Despite ongoing ethnic tensions and genocide denial in the region, the memorial serves as a reminder of our shared humanity.
