Survivors of the genocide at Srebrenica are hoping their accounts and keepsakes of families of some of the 8,000 Muslim men and boys who were killed will help dispel the denial of the massacre that is the heart of a political crisis in Bosnia.

One hundred survivors gave video testimonies and family memorabilia for the exhibition prepared by the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN) and the Srebrenica Memorial Center (SMC) that opened on Tuesday.
