The Bosnian Series #6 - Sarajevo, 1941 and Present

I found this photograph (above) of a Bosnian Muslim and liked it straight away, but... there is no story with it (that I know of), so it would make a very meager post.
But then, in the archives, I still had this picture (below), from the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, University of Minnesota:
Photo of women and children in street together: A Muslim veiled woman, Zejneba Hardaga (right) and Jewish woman, Rivka Kalb (2nd from right) and her children are guided on the streets of Sarajevo in 1941. Zejneba covered the yellow star on the Rivka's left arm with her veil. Bahrija Hardasa, sister-in-law of Zejneba, is on the far left.

A great picture of what once was the most (multi-)cultural city in the Former Yugoslavia.

    And this article/text as well as book of the same author (from above link/url) really explains a lot in sense of my above assertion (also this article actually referred me to your blog)

    Cheers from Sarajevo
