🧵 As the fathers of Srebrenica continue to wait for spring to arrive, so they may try to reach their partners and children, they think about the latter in particular.

In the last two years, their children have grown up, and their fathers think they’re growing up too quickly, that they’re looking too serious in those pictures which have been taken with the sole purpose of being sent to Srebrenica.

They carry these pictures everywhere, showing them to acquaintances, friends and relatives, once they’ve thoroughly cried themselves out whilst watching their thin, grown-up and thus strangely elongated children, recognising in them their own features.

They wait impatiently for the winter to be over. In springtime, when everything becomes green, they will get to free Tuzla through the woods.
