1998-1999
Life in Kosovo
 |
The
genocide of this period was strikingly similar to previous Serbian campaigns in
Bosnia. This must have been horrible to
live through. The male population was
targeted for mass execution, detention and torture. Young women were easy targets for sex crimes
and the remainder of the population was affected by what was going on. My nephew Skender was a teenager during this
time and I have only heard tidbits of his story and what life was like for his
family. One can only imagine what life
was like. When I really considered the
horrors experienced during this time and the need to fight for sustenance and
survival made me grateful for what we have here in the United States. We really don’t have a clue. We may feel needy, but we really don’t know
what it is to need in the face of conflict and war on an everyday basis.
