On November 21, 1995, the Dayton Agreement (the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina) was reached. This peace agreement ended the Bosnian War after three and a half years.
The Visual History Archive currently contains 20 testimonies of survivors and witnesses of the war and the 1995 Srebrenica genocide in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The testimonies had been recorded by the Srebrenica Memorial Center in collaboration with Balkan Investigative Research Network (BIRN) in 2020 and 2021 in several towns and cities in Bosnia. The collection contains 8 testimonies by male and 12 testimonies by female interviewees. The testimonies were recorded following the oral history methodology and they cover the prewar, wartime, and postwar periods. All testimonies are in Bosnian.

In this excerpt from his testimony (which includes English subtitles), Srebrenica genocide survivor, Smajil Klempić, recalls the ordeal of Bosnian Muslim men who left Srebrenica after its capture on July 11, 1995, and embarked on a long and dangerous journey through the surrounding woods to reach safety.
