Mirela Muratovic, a Bosnian war survivor, lost her father and mother during the Srebrenica genocide in 1995. Her father was one of over 8,000 victims, while her mother went missing two years prior. Resettled in Australia as a refugee, her family received DNA identification of her father's remains after years, enabling a funeral. However, they still lack closure for her mother's disappearance. Mirela's experiences deepen her empathy for present-day suffering, urging that the world must not forget past atrocities.
Mirela was five years old during the Srebrenica genocide, where over 8,000 Bosnian men and boys were killed. Her father was one of the victims.
Mirela's mother disappeared just two years before, presumed kidnapped and killed while seeking food during the war, adding to the family's trauma.
The Muratovic family secured closure for Munib's death through a DNA identification, allowing them to hold a funeral, but Dzeva's remains are still missing.
Mirela expressed that watching suffering in other regions resonates deeply, triggering memories of her own loss and emphasizing the need to speak out against such atrocities.
