Day two on this hellish march towards Tuzla. I’m sleep-deprived and hungry.

I fell asleep a few hours ago near Bukva. Woke up not long ago. Just been told by my neighbour Nazif that there’s been a massacre nearby. Serb forces are hunting us down. My brother-in-law has been killed. So has my father-in-law.

I’ve returned to Bukva to find the bodies of my father-in-law and brother-in-law. I’ve found them both. My bro-in-law was just 16. I’ve covered him with some branches, and I’m carrying my father-in-law with me. We’re being hunted down like animals.

I can hear the Chetniks in the near distance. They’re shouting: “Don’t kill them. Catch them alive.
