A Manchester synagogue attacked. Then a Sussex mosque. Neither outrage has any place in our country. @srebrenicauk.bsky.social stands in solidarity with both communities. We must unite against antisemitism, Islamophobia and all hate. #RememberYesterdayActToday

The images are of two people in balaclavas seen outside the mosque before the large blaze spread.

Today's "Letter From Bosnia" comes from Mevlida Jusic. "I must never forget what happened because it's the least I can do for my husband and brothers. I pass the truth about their deaths on to my son because he needs to know what evil and hate can do." #Srebrenica30

“Those who committed atrocities will keep on living their lives peacefully as long as we are silent.” Elmedin’s Letter from Bosnia reminds us: silence enables denial. Speak up for Zvornik, Srebrenica, Prijedor, and beyond. #Srebrenica30

Contact your council.
Talk to friends, family, colleagues.
Remembrance is how we fight genocide denial.
It’s how we educate about hate.
And it’s how we build a better future.

Today’s “Letter from Bosnia” comes from our Elmina Kulasic, who was just a child when she became imprisoned in the Trnoplje concentration camp. “The genocide in BiH did not happen overnight. It was systematically planned. I survived to be the voice for those that did not”. #Srebrenica30

This year’s theme - Remember Yesterday, Act Today - echoes louder than ever.

We remember the past not only in grief, but in our actions - against denial, against division, against hate.

We honour the victims & survivors, & we challenge hatred wherever it appears.
