Bosnia and Herzegovina and other countries in the region are facing the issue of overcoming the not-so-distant past, which is being manipulated daily in the public space, while a war of interpretation has been waged for decades. What is easily overlooked, due to the self-interest of many involved in the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is the simplicity of the truth if only the facts are considered.
FAMA Methodology contributes to the establishment of factography and presents the project "Knowledge Transfer Module - Srebrenica July 6th-19th, 1995", in contrast to the existing political manipulation of history in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region.
This educational module, through the presentation of evidence, testimonies, authentic statements, illustrations, thematic lectures, and by means of a chronological review of the events that led to the genocide in Srebrenica, presents the facts with the aim of imparting knowledge and education.
This educational module is based on the video documentary animation (production 2010) and the Public Lecture "Mapping Genocide and Post-Genocide Society" (production, Sarajevo 2015).
“History lies in a two-sided paradox. On the one hand, we identify a conscious destruction of history’s great moral issues, resulting in an intellectual irrelevance of the historian himself, who becomes unable not only of thinking about society, but also of his own scholarship. On the other hand, new readings of history led by aggressive overzealous historians reduced history to a nihilistic category in which nothing of what happened actually happened, and everything we used to know we no longer do. The result is that generations of schoolchildren are being poisoned by a subject called history. Textbooks and different history books did whatever they could to legitimize irrational acts, hatred, revenge, violence, power and the sense of superiority in relation to the past.“
