After the tumultuous dissolution of Yugoslavia into independent states in 1991 and 1992, Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic pursued a Serbian state free of non-Serbs, implementing a policy of “ethnic cleansing” within Bosnia. Non-Serb cultural and religious sites were destroyed, Muslim and Croat civilians were forced from their homes and subjected to degrees of degradation intended to completely destroy them, and destroy their sense of Bosnia as home. Thousands of Muslims and Croats were rounded up and sent to concentration camps in northern Bosnia, where they were humiliated, tortured, and many executed. Women were systematically raped at camps built for that express purpose. Approximately 10,000 prisoners died in the Serb-run concentration camps in Bosnia; in 1995, 7,800 men and boys were executed en masse at Srebenica in the worst massacre in Europe since the Holocaust.
