Srebrenica Genocide Memorial, Genocide memorial cemetery in Potočari, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Srebrenica Genocide Memorial is a commemorative site in Potočari with thousands of graves, a wall inscribed with victims' names, and an exhibition center. The complex displays personal belongings recovered from mass graves and provides spaces for educational programs.
The memorial was established in 2003 to honor over 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys killed in 1995 during the conflict. The site marks one of the gravest events in recent European history.
An open-air mosque stands at the site, serving as a place for prayer and remembrance for visitors and families. The location holds deep meaning for the local community and those connected to the tragedy.
The site is open year-round and requires no entrance fee, making it accessible to all visitors. Guided tours should be arranged in advance to receive proper explanation and support during your visit.
The building now housing the exhibitions was originally a battery factory that served as the United Nations peacekeeping headquarters during the conflict. This transformation connects the location's past directly to its present purpose.
