Young Bosnian-Dutch activists are campaigning to raise the low level of public knowledge about the 1995 Srebrenica genocide and the Netherlands’ role in the UN peacekeeping mission that did not prevent the mass killings of Bosniaks.
“It’s still very difficult to talk about Srebrenica,” said Marc van Berkel, who researches historical topics in education and recently published a report on how the July 1995 massacres are covered in Dutch history textbooks.
