Lejla Damon was born in 1992, the start of the Bosnian genocide. Her mother was repeatedly raped by a Serbian soldier and became pregnant with Lejla soon after. Lejla was smuggled out of Bosnia right after she was born because her mother could not and did not want to raise her. She was adopted at 3 years old, and has now dedicated her life to stopping genocide and rape.

In the genocide the Serbs had no specific hit list or death list but the Serbs would collect the men and move them to concentration where they would dehumanize them, in addition the women and children would be deported.

"People were pressed tightly into barracks and deprived of basic life necessities. Sadly, most resorted to quenching their thirst with excretion. Not every one of the 14,000 Muslim men in the camps of Northern Bosnia were marked for death (as was seen in the Holocaust) However, due to the poor living conditions in those camps, over 10,000 Bosnians died anyways. About 8000 victims were murdered in the town called Srebrenica. In the camps, Muslim and Croats were held in metal cages that were infected. The victims were killed in groups of 10-15 every day.

The Serbs had no exact hit list or death list. They rounded up men and women and children and forced them into labor camps. They also deported a great amount of women and children, and publicly executed the men. The Serbs allowed no one to observe their camps, including officials from other countries that may have been able to help the victims.

In Bosnia Croats and Serbian Muslims were seen as unwelcome outsiders who had no place in a Bosnian state. Social interactions between the Serbians and non- Serbians was restricted too, many new laws were made like no intermarriages between Serbians and non- Serbians.

The Serbs gathered up all the and executed them. They deported the women and children. The Serbs mostly cared about geeting rid of the men because they thought women and chidlren were weka and could not fight back.

In the Bosnian genocide the Serbs would treat the Bosnian people unfairly and saw them as less equal. The Serbs did this by dehumanization. In this genocide Croats and Muslims segregated, there were concentration camps, the people that were forced into the concentration camps were beaten, lacked resources (food and water),lived with terrible conditions,sexually assaulted, raped, constantly tortured and then were killed later.

"Hate speech" was seen as a natural reaction. It reaffirmed the opposition of the ethnic groups. The politically controlled media produced not only hate speech but also lied about what was going on at the time. The Bosnian's were separated into two different groups, and each of the groups were treated differently.

¨...many Bosnian Serbs have grown increasingly resolute in their denial of the incident.¨ says http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2015/07/srebrenica-massacre-bosnia-anniversary-denial/398846/. This quote goes to show that many serbs  are stil in denial of this horiffic genocide. The Serbian Prime Minister stated that there was no genocide that took place in this area.

"Sometimes I get terribly sad, because I can't imagine what my life will be like. I will never see  my parents again. And yet, I will see the people who killed them, and their children, for the rest of my life. I can't bear the thought of it.

The discrimination and disgust the Serbs had towards Croats and Bosniaks intensified as people started labeling them as "destructive" and "toxic. Getting rid of them was considered "ethnic cleansing"

The Bosnian genocide consisted of three specific groups: Bosnian Serbs (Orthodox Catholic Christians), Bosniaks (Sunni Muslims), and Bosnian Croats (Roman Catholic Christians), (Genocide-Bosnia).

The Bosnian genocide took place because Serbia wanted to preserve its rule over Bosnia. Serbia wanted to accomplish this by ethnic cleansing. At first in 1992 Bosnia was considered as a independent country by the United states and European communities.  The Serbs and Bosnian began to have conflict and they were violent towards each other. Some Serbs disagreed with Bosnia having its own state in Serbia so they began to bomb some places. After that the Serbians conducted the genocide which was against the Bosnian that were living under their rule. The genocide then ended in 1995.
