Bosnia- A Complicated History
Lesson Development: We've developed lesson plans tailored to educate students about the Bosnian genocide, designed to suit classrooms from sixth to twelfth grade. These lessons received funding support from the California Teachers Collaborative for Holocaust Education and the California State Department of Education. We're thrilled to announce the addition of these lessons to our website, extending our resources for educators.
Featured Curriculum: Bosnia and Herzegovina Genocide
As part of our curriculum development work with the California Teachers Collaborative, we contributed to the creation of a comprehensive educational unit focused on the genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This curriculum provides educators with historical context, survivor perspectives, and guided lessons to support meaningful classroom discussions around contemporary genocide and human rights.

Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIH) and Croatia
Tosha, Hilary, and Sharla embarked on a two-week exploration through Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia to delve into the history of the Bosnian genocide. To our surprise, we discovered that the only recognized genocide in the region was centered around Srebrenica. Yet, as we traversed the area, we encountered a complex mosaic of geography and people, highlighting the enduring challenges of division. Some still resist accepting the outcomes of the Dayton Accords, underscoring the ongoing complexities.
