Sitting with mom and she just told me the most chilling story about how her group of friends ended when Milosevic came into power.
My mom, a Muslim, was friends with Christian Orthodox, Catholic and Atheist Yugoslavs. They celebrated each others holidays.
She celebrated Christmas with them, they& #39;d celebrate Eid with her. Their parents were friends too.
Everyone was in a panic warning Velimir what nationalism does. Trying to convince him of the Yugoslav call of "brotherhood and unity".
But Velimir turned around and said he was a Serb and it was his duty to ensure a Greater Serbia.
Velimir& #39;s last words were "Please forgive me if I end up being the one to kill you".
He went to Pale. He was killed the same day he left. His mother, a concentration camp survivor, a woman of God, died of a broken heart.
Her friends after mainly split up. Very few of the large group of Orthodox, Catholic, Muslim & Atheists stuck together.
Mom& #39;s been talking more about the pre-war stuff because the nationalism in America reminds her of the nationalism in Yugoslavia.
