SARAJEVO, Bosnia (December 6,2007) - Leaders of the Bosnian Jewish Community appealed for help locating Bosnians who aided Jews during World War II and have not been recognized.
The search is aimed at locating people who offered help and documenting their stories, said the Bosnian Jewish Community. The effort is part of a broader project to record the lives of Bosnia's Muslim and Jewish communities over the past centuries.
Appearing on the Bosnian State TV, project leader Eli Tauber invited people to contact the Jewish Community or the Bosnian Institute for the Research of Crimes Against Humanity, which is also involved in the project.
"This project is extremely important nowadays when Bosnia is full of negative examples of who hates whom. It sends a message of coexistence and we want to show to all peoples in Bosnia that the life of one nation with another is sacred and has to be preserved," said Muhamed Mesic, of the institute, on Bosnian TV.
