BiH Diaspora Meet & Greet

Thirty years after the Bosnian genocide, The Acts of Reburial,&nbsp;exposes a vast campaign of denial&mdash;engineered by nationalist regimes, enabled by global apathy, and even legitimized by the very institutions tasked with delivering justice.&nbsp; As an organization dedicated to preserving the stories of victims and survivors, the Bosnian American Genocide Institute is leading a fundraising campaign to help re-grant funds directly to the filmmaker Harun Mehmedinovic, enabling video production of stories that will be shared on social media. Since 2025, Harun has invested his time, energy and equipment to document stories from around Bosnia that have never been told, and has delivered those stories through YouTube, Instagram and Facebook. To continue the record collection of stories that we&#39;ve accumulated, we need your help to meet our goal for 2026.&nbsp; You can help by:- Donating directly to this campaign and resharing it through social media.- Creating your individual peer-to-peer campaign to help us raise funds. Build your page, share why this history matters to you, and invite others to participate.&nbsp; By fundraising with us, you stand with efforts to document testimonies, safeguard historical records, and confront denial through research and education.&nbsp;
