In July of 1995, 8000 Bosnians were killed during the war in Bosnia, which is the largest massacre in Europe since the Holocaust. An estimated total of 100,000 people were killed and over 2 million people were displaced (Past Genocides). Although the United States and the whole world knew what was going on, they decided to be indifferent to the cause and the US refused to send in troops. Wiesel says, “Indifference is always the friend of the enemy, for it benefits the aggressor” (Wiesel). By being indifferent, the US was helping the Serbs with the benefit of allowing them to continue killing the Bosnians and continued to avoid helping by referring to the conflict as an “ethnic cleansing” rather than “genocide,” which it was.

The Holocaust was nothing short of mass genocide an entire culture just because they didn’t fit in with a government “vision”, which made them easy scapegoats for the Nazi Regime for problems that came to Germany after the First World War. So when the Holocaust started, many refuges evacuated Germany and parts of Europe for places such as Palestinian, which was once apart of their homeland.

The physical and psychological trauma that these people have to go through is unfathomable to the people looking from the outside in. Being immersed into the reality of war is not only shocking but, life changing in incomprehensible way. One of the most famous quotes from a soldier is, “We are forlorn like children, and experienced like old men, we are crude and sorrowful and superficial—I believe we are lost.” - Erich Maria Remarque.

The Bosnian War lasted from 1992 until 1995, and has been concluded after the US engagement during the presidency of Bill Clinton. The Clinton administration, led by the ambassador Richard Holbrook, successfully stopped a further bloodshed and secured an overall peace in the Former Yugoslavia with the Dayton Peace Agreement.
