On the 30th anniversary of the outbreak of the siege of Sarajevo, regarded as the longest besiege of any city in modern history, we have captured the moving testimonies of the people who survived nearly four years of occupation.

Parents whose children were killed by fragments of grenades and sniper bullets have spoken about their overwhelming pain and loss.
