Scars of War

While standing infront of this house at Ulica Jakice Altarca in Jajace, Bosnia and Herzegovina, I was wondering about the people who lived here. Maybe a family...? What did their life looked like? Why didn't they come back after the end of the Bosnian War in 1995 to rebuilt their former home?
To put it short, scars of war are deep. Some are visible, others are not. Outsiders are astonished why the country still is not cleared of mines. To the present day, it's dangerous to go hiking in some parts of the mountains. At the sight of beautiful nature in Bosnia you can hardly imagine the hidden danger.

Anyone at home?

Somewhere in Bosnia-Herzegovina. No sign "Do not enter", that's unthinkable in Germany. You can go sightseeing, but "ruinseeing" is much more fascinating. Even if it's depressing at the same time, because it reminds you of war.

Bosnia and Herzegovina - a young country after the bloody war

Lethargy, distrust, but also hope
In Germany, many people don't know where to find Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) on the map. Well, it's the neighbouring country of Kroatia, where many tourists spend their summer holidays at the beach.
20 years after the Bosnian war in 1992 to 1995, people in BiH still struggle with the aftermath of war. At the theatre, like at the Sarajevo war theatre, they try to come to terms with pain and hate.
