Sarajevo Remembers the 11,541

20 years ago war broke out in Bosnia unleashing unbelievable atrocities. The West looked on and refused to act.

Sarajevo’s main street was empty of traffic yesterday, save for 11,541 stationary red chairs. Row after row of chairs lined the street – each one commemorating a man, woman or child killed in the longest siege of modern history.
