François-Ferdinand, héritier du trône austro-hongrois, incarne l'homme à la croisée des chemins entre tradition impériale et modernité. Son assassinat en 1914 à Sarajevo déclenche la Première Guerre mondiale, marquant la fin d'une époque et le début d'un cataclysme mondial. Prince intellectuel, réformiste et passionné de sciences, il est souvent perçu comme un visionnaire incompris, dont le destin tragique scelle la fin d'une ère. François-Ferdinand devient ainsi le symbole d'un monde qui s'effondre sous le poids de l'histoire et des ambitions contrariées."Secrets d'Histoire" est un podcast d'Initial Studio, adapté de l'émission de télévision éponyme produite par la Société Européenne de Production ©2024 SEP / France Télévisions.

Kaj je bolj škodljivo: izpušni plini, kurjenje lesa ali kajenje Zdaj ne moremo več zanikati dejstva, da nam onesnažen zrak skrajša življenje. Vendar na kakšen način? Kaj je za ljudi bolj škodljivo: izpušni plini, kurjenje drv, ali kajenje? V Ultrazvoku odgovarja fizik dr. Griša Močnik. Sogovornik tokratne oddaje je s sodelavci in sodelavkami Centra za raziskave atmosfere Univerze v Novi Gorici v sodelovanju s kolegicami in kolegi iz tujine dokazal, da se škoda v pljučih, ki jo povzročijo trdni delci v vdihanem zraku, razlikuje glede na vir onesnaževanja. Izmerili so, kakšen je tako imenovani oksidativni potencial trdnih delcev PM10 in PM2,5. Z njim lahko prikažemo vpliv trdih delcev na zdravje ljudi. Rezultate odmevne študije so pred tednom dni (22. 10. 2025) objavili v znanstveni reviji Nature, prof. dr. Griša Močnik pa jo bo predstavil v oddaji Ultrazvok. Mednarodne analize in primerjave sicer kažejo, da je zrak v Sloveniji med bolj onesnaženimi v Evropi. Zelo negativno izstopa zlasti Ljubljana. Deskle v občini Kanal ob Soči, Sarajevo, Chamonix v Franciji pa so trije kraji od triinštiridesetih, ki po najslabši kakovosti zraka izstopajo v prelomni študiji.

Alessandro Barbero ha tenuto la lectio inaugurale della prima edizione di Agorà Festival, un evento progettato e organizzato dagli Editori Laterza e promosso dal Comune di Cesena, nell'ambito di Forlì-Cesena per la Cultura 2028. Lo storico piemontese con "1914. Come l'Europa è già precipitata una volta nella guerra mondiale" ci porta nel cuore di un continente sull'orlo del baratro, quando la scintilla di Sarajevo fece esplodere tensioni politiche, nazionalismi e rivalità imperiali. Allora come oggi, gli equilibri internazionali si dimostrarono fragili e il peso delle alleanze e dei conflitti latenti spinse intere nazioni verso la catastrofe. Una lezione che ci invita a riflettere sulle tensioni geopolitiche attuali e sui rischi di una nuova escalation globale.

Following President Trump's tirade against the UN and American allies this week, Christine speaks with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on the sidelines of the UNGA. The two discuss how Spain has stood up against some of Trump's demands on immigration, climate, Gaza and NATO, and why it was ahead of most of Europe in recognizing a Palestinian state. Then, legendary Hollywood star Jane Fonda joins the program alongside Zimbabwean human rights defender Mela Chiponda. They talk to Christiane about their new climate fund, what the world can learn from Africa about fighting the climate crisis and Fondas' recollections of Robert Redford. Also, a special "As Equals" report about the female Mexican cab drivers fighting back against the country's fatal misogyny. Plus, after Brazil's President Lula faced off with Donald Trump at the United Nations, Christiane speaks with the country's foreign minister, Mauro Vieira who claims President Trump “is not well-informed” on both the US-Brazil trade deficit and on the Bolsonaro prosecution. From Christiane's archives, a haunting echo of today's wars, where leaders tried to spin a new reality with a litany of lies. She revisits her report on Serbian forces insisting they were not laying siege to Sarajevo despite all the evidence to the contrary. And finally, Christiane visits New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral as it unveils a new mural honoring America's migrants, and speaks with Adam Cvijanovic, the mind behind the masterpiece.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Kate Stanton Melendez for an interview with soft sculpture artist, performance artist, and college professor Kelly Boehmer.    Kelly has exhibited and performed her work nationally and internationally in over 175 exhibitions including shows in Baltimore, Dallas, Miami, New York City, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, San Juan, Sao Paulo, Brazil, Gimpo-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea and Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.  She received her BFA in Studio Art at the Maryland Institute College of Art and her MFA in Studio Art at the University of South Florida. She is a member of the performance art band, Glitter Chariot. Kelly is a Professor of Foundations Studies at Savannah College of Art and Design, in Savannah, GA.   Boehmer's soft sculptures combine tragic humor with a celebration of the hidden beauty found within anxiety. Her creatures serve as metaphors for personal struggles with anxiety and aging. She finds humor in her attempts to become "comfortable in my own skin" and to navigate these challenges, particularly with social anxiety. Though the imagery may appear grotesque, with flayed and molting forms, these creatures represent growth, transformation, and positive change. She uses glittery sheer fabrics and vivid faux fur, to contrast difficult emotions with inviting textures. This creates a tension between attraction and repulsion, softening the rawness of the subject matter and making it more approachable for the viewer. Many of her works draw inspiration from iconic pieces in art history, such as the Unicorn Tapestries, the Laocoön Group, Lion Hunt of Ashurbanipal, and The Arnolfini Portrait. Her aggressive hand-sewing technique is similar to an expressive line in drawing. A key element of the process involves repurposing materials from previous sculptures, cutting them up after an exhibition and combining them with upcycled taxidermy. This gives the materials a “second life,” creating a layered history of growth and change embedded within the pieces themselves.   Check out Kelly's work here: https://www.kellyboehmer.com/ Kelly Boehmer (@kelly.boehmer) • Instagram photos and videoshttps://www.instagram.com/kelly.boehmer/?hl=en   Buy Kelly's work from Cindy Lisica Gallery in the Atlanta Art Fair: https://artcloud.market/show/cindy-liscia-gallery-atlanta-art-fair   See her husband Chuck Carbia's work here: https://www.chuckcarbia.com/

How history, law, and theology warn us against turning words into weaponsBy Chris Abraham for SubstackSome mornings I surprise myself. I wake with the smell of coffee in the apartment, the building still quiet, and realize I've become a proselytizer for an old story. Not long ago, I argued about anchor text or attribution models. Now, I listen to daily Gospel readings on Hallow, sit with Jeff Cavins' reflections, and quote John and Luke in comment threads. Nobody in my circle would have bet on this turn. Yet here I am, defending something I once mocked: the right of even ugly speech to exist without being carted off by the mob.The spark for this essay was a viral clip: a student casually saying, “we should bring back political assassinations.” The internet responded as it always does—doxxing, firings, denunciations, and calls for permanent punishment. A remark became a hunt; the hunt became a storm. What we're rediscovering is that escalation has no natural ceiling.History offers the bluntest illustration. A single pistol in Sarajevo set in motion alliances and mobilizations in 1914. Gavrilo Princip's assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand didn't just trigger World War I—it created conditions that made World War II almost inevitable. Versailles punished, humiliated, and planted the seeds for something worse. The pattern is clear: brittle systems plus retributive logic equals long violence.We are running a similar ladder in civic life. A tweet becomes a pile-on; a pile-on becomes a firing; firings become professional exile. The law distinguishes incitement from expression, but private power—employers, platforms, angry publics—enforces with brutal efficiency. Make someone unemployable and many will cheer.I defend the toleration of ugly speech not because I like ugliness, but because civilization is the art of channeling impulses into procedures. The difference between courts and mobs, between ballots and torches, is not taste. It is survival. A messy forum beats clean annihilation.That's why I find myself defending a man—call him a public conservative—whose rhetoric makes even me squirm. Friends call him a paid agitator. But he did something useful: he forced people to decide what they believed about sin and responsibility. The gospels say: “Go, and sin no more.” In today's civic grammar, calling sin “sin” lands like an unforgivable insult.Listening to the liturgy daily doesn't make me devout; it makes me exacting. Mercy without responsibility collapses into indulgence. And politics without procedure collapses into violence. Whether it's migrants, surges, or social panics, escalation follows predictable dynamics: fear, backlash, and harder law.Revolutions show the same pattern. Marx, Mao, and Che all preached rupture. History showed feedback loops: repression breeds resentment, resentment breeds new radicalism. Quick purges promise a better world but usually deliver cycles of blood. The duel and the frontier brawl remind us: humans answer offense with violence. Today's equivalents are doxxing, canceling, and algorithmic ruin. Different weapons, same code.The temptation is to believe pauses create peace. Versailles was a pause. Interwar years were a pause. Ceasefires often function as rearming intervals. Punishment without reconciliation is not resolution—it is staging ground for the next round.That's why my call is simple: protect the square. Let ugly arguments happen in public, and resolve them through law, not purges. Reserve punishment for credible threats, not unpopular speech. Teach platforms and employers to resist mob fury. Absorb offense without turning it into capital. History warns us: moral cleansing campaigns can harden into decades of conflict.Maybe that's why I can listen to the Gospel in the morning and still defend free speech at night. Ugly words are less dangerous than the torches we light to silence them. Once the torches are lit, the stairs back down are hard to find.

Charlie Kirk's murder on a Utah stage in September 2025 was not just another grim entry in the catalog of American political violence. It was a detonation — the moment when a single blasting cap set off a chain reaction that no one could fully control. To understand it, we need less the vocabulary of day-to-day politics and more the physics of escalation.In a nuclear weapon, you don't need much fissile material to create an unimaginable blast. What you need are precisely shaped conventional charges — “explosive lenses” — timed to compress the core into criticality. Small charges, aimed correctly, unlock apocalyptic force. Political violence, as history shows, operates on the same principle. One bullet in Sarajevo, fired by a young nationalist named Gavrilo Princip, compressed the fragile alliances of Europe into total war. The Treaty of Versailles, meant to end that war, functioned instead as a pause that guaranteed another. Small detonations, brittle systems, spirals without ceilings.Charlie Kirk's assassination functioned as just such a lens. The man himself was controversial, adored on the right, despised on the left, mocked by late-night comedians, venerated by his followers as a cultural warrior and, in some quarters, even as a modern Saint Paul. But the meaning of his death lies less in the biographical details than in the cascade it triggered: presidential proclamations, half-staff flags, memorials filling stadiums, new laws drafted in grief and vengeance. Within hours, the online square divided into camps: those mourning, those jeering, those hunted for failing to mourn properly. Employers fired staffers who made jokes; activists doxxed students who cheered; even foreign governments issued statements of condolence or disdain. The assassination became implosion.The reaction illustrates what I called, in an earlier essay, the ladder of escalation. Words treated as violence. Violence treated as legitimacy. Cancel culture feeding into martyrdom. Martyrdom feeding into repression. Each rung climbs higher until there is no way down. History is littered with moments where a single flashpoint cascaded into an epochal rupture: Sarajevo in 1914, Kristallnacht in 1938, Dallas in 1963. What begins as an act of brutality quickly becomes a referendum on legitimacy itself.Why is Kirk's case so combustible? Because he was not a marginal figure. He was beloved by a sitting president, courted by world leaders, followed by millions. He represented, to his supporters, the silent majority finally speaking. To his enemies, he embodied the weaponization of grievance. That polarity meant his assassination could not be absorbed as a tragic crime; it had to be read as symbol, as trigger, as proof.And once symbols replace arguments, escalation is automatic. Trump promised a crackdown on enemies. JD Vance vowed institutional purges. Cardinals and pop stars consecrated Kirk as martyr. Meanwhile, conspiracy theories bloomed: Was the shooter Antifa? A Groyper? A false-flag pawn of Ukraine, Israel, Russia? Like radiation after a blast, the speculation itself became toxic fuel.The lesson is the same one Sarajevo teaches: small charges, aimed at brittle systems, create explosions whose shockwaves last generations. If every offensive post is treated as treason, if every death is weaponized into mandate, then the republic ceases to be a forum and becomes instead a minefield.The answer, paradoxically, is mercy. Protect the square. Let ugly words be answered with argument, not annihilation. Let crimes be punished through law, not mobs. Otherwise, Kirk's death will not be remembered as a tragedy but as a trigger — the moment America's fissile material reached critical mass.

The killing of Charlie Kirk in Utah this September didn't just extinguish the life of a polarizing activist. It set off a cascade — an implosion in the civic square whose blast radius is still expanding. To make sense of it, we should borrow metaphors not from politics but from physics and history: Sarajevo, Versailles, Oppenheimer.A nuclear bomb is not powered by TNT. It's powered by the precision of small charges — explosive lenses — that compress a fragile core until it becomes supercritical. A spark, carefully timed, unleashes apocalypse. Politics often works the same way. In 1914, a 19-year-old assassin fired a pistol in Sarajevo, compressing a fragile Europe into the First World War. Versailles, intended as peace, functioned as a pause that guaranteed an even larger conflict. Small detonations in brittle systems yield catastrophe.Charlie Kirk's assassination was one such detonation. The details are familiar: a public event turned deadly, footage ricocheting across feeds, and the immediate conversion of murder into symbol. President Trump ordered flags at half-staff, awarded a posthumous Medal of Freedom, and vowed vengeance. JD Vance promised to dismantle left-leaning institutions. Cardinals compared Kirk to St. Paul; entertainers dedicated songs; world leaders offered tributes or warnings. At the same time, critics mocked, skeptics questioned, and conspiracy theories metastasized.What mattered was not the biography of Kirk but the implosion his death triggered. Employers fired staffers for tasteless jokes. Activists launched doxxing campaigns. Governments warned immigrants not to mock. Online mobs demanded ever harsher retribution. In days, one act of violence became a referendum on loyalty, identity, legitimacy.This is the ladder of escalation I've written about before: speech treated as violence, violence treated as mandate, mandate hardened into purge. Every rung climbed makes descent harder. Kirk, adored by some and despised by others, became less a man than a trigger. Like Princip in Sarajevo, he ignited forces far larger than himself.The analogy to nuclear weapons is not hyperbole. A conventional blasting cap — a tweet, a joke, a jeer — may seem trivial. But when the system is brittle, those charges compress the civic core until it reaches criticality. The implosion is not the joke itself; it is the convergence of fury, fear, and fragile legitimacy. The fission that follows is outrage weaponized into governance: firings, bans, purges, crackdowns.Theology sharpens the picture. The Gospels say: “Go, and sin no more.” Mercy paired with responsibility. What we see instead is vengeance paired with purification. Kirk is canonized as martyr; his critics are cast as heretics. But civilization depends on protecting the square — the messy forum where ugly words are countered with argument rather than annihilation.The lesson from Sarajevo and from Los Alamos is identical: once the charges fire, you cannot un-detonate them. A bullet, a tweet, a public assassination: each can become the blasting cap that compresses a democracy into criticality. If we keep mistaking outrage for justice, we will not be mourning just one man in Utah. We will be mourning the republic itself.

Why protecting even offensive words is the only way to prevent violenceBy Chris Abraham for SubstackEvery generation rediscovers an old lesson the hard way: words are not bullets, but if you confuse them long enough, bullets eventually appear.Lately I've been struck by how quickly our civic conversations move from irritation to punishment. A clumsy remark or ugly slogan goes viral; the mob mobilizes; firings and cancellations follow. It's tempting to say “well, that's accountability,” but the speed and severity of these reactions tell a different story. What we are really doing is rehearsing a very old drama: escalation without a ceiling.Think about Sarajevo, 1914. A teenager named Gavrilo Princip fires a pistol at Archduke Franz Ferdinand. One act of political violence sets off treaties, obligations, and mobilizations. Within weeks, a continent is on fire. The war that followed didn't solve the problem — the punitive Treaty of Versailles created conditions for something even worse. What began as one shot became decades of blood.In our own time, the weapons are reputations, jobs, and platforms. The principle is the same. A careless post spirals into professional ruin. A mob decision substitutes for law. The difference between a town that argues and a town that shoots isn't etiquette — it's survival. Civilized societies invest in procedures: courts, ballots, deliberation. Mobs invest in immediacy. And immediacy always tempts violence.I am not blind to the harm of speech. Racist, vile, or threatening words sting. But the constitutional line exists for a reason. U.S. law is clear: speech only loses protection if it incites imminent lawless action. Everything else, however ugly, is permitted. That boundary protects not just bigots but everyone who dissents from the reigning consensus. Without it, majorities punish minorities on impulse.Cancel culture, whatever name you prefer, is efficient at punishment but poor at persuasion. It does not change minds; it exiles people. It does not reduce resentment; it deepens it. Every mob firing creates martyrs. Every public shaming fertilizes resentment. And resentment, history shows, is a renewable fuel for conflict.Even in theology, escalation is a central theme. The Gospel's “go, and sin no more” joins mercy with responsibility. Mercy without limits collapses into indulgence. Punishment without procedure collapses into vengeance. Both errors invite cycles that consume communities.Revolutions prove this. Marx promised liberation through rupture. Mao promised purification through violence. Che romanticized guerrilla struggle. What followed was not paradise but repression breeding new radicals, one cycle after another. The dueling codes of earlier centuries made the same point: treat words as violence, and violence answers back.We flatter ourselves that the modern age is different because our weapons are digital. But doxxing, mass reporting, and professional exile are simply new swords. The old instinct is unchanged.There is also a dangerous illusion that pauses equal peace. Versailles looked like peace; it was only a ceasefire. Contemporary ceasefires often work the same way: an interval to rearm. Punishment without reconciliation buys time, not resolution.So what should we do? Protect the square. Keep the civic forum open even to speech you despise. Reserve punishments for true threats, not for dissent. Train institutions to resist the adrenaline of the mob. Encourage citizens to answer ugliness with argument, not annihilation.This isn't naivety. It's strategy. If you want fewer bullets, you must tolerate more words. Ugly words, even dangerous-sounding words, are less corrosive than the torches we light to silence them.History has already taught us what happens when we confuse offense with violence and treat every slight as existential. Once the crowd is chanting and the torches are lit, the path back down the ladder is hard to find.

La última maldición virtual se la he lanzado a la verdadera jefa del PP, la Medusa de Madrid, cuya sola visión congela las neuronas. Le deseo que cada noche, en su bonito dúplex, sueñe no ya con el genocidio que niega, que esas pesadillas de Gaza por simple decencia las tenemos bastantes personas, pero sí con el tema que aparentemente tan bien conoce: el sitio de Sarajevo.

This is Part 2 of an unusual episode, on the move through countries, memories, wounds, war, peace and the beautiful game.Sturm Graz is and was a workers club when I came to the club in the 90s, one year before Ivica Osim arrived. We knew he was a mathematician, soccer player and coach, and he knew workers clubs, from Željezničar, in Grbavica, back home in Sarajevo, the city then under a yearlong siege in the Bosnian independence wars. But he added something else. To him, the game was discourse, it was beauty. He explained soccer to us in a way we'd never seen it. Professorial and sometimes grumpy, but always extremely humble. He made us see things in football that we hadn't seen before. And even on the day of his funeral, he made me see things about life that I wouldn't have seen otherwise.Osim, an Agnostic and philosopher of football and of the world, is a kind of saint most Bosnians can agree on. He is recommended reading in Japanese schools. And he is the reason why I went to Sarajevo this hot August. HELPFUL LINKS AND SOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE:Ivica Osim (Wikipedia)Tifa (Mladen Vojičić) - Grbavica, live in 1994 (YouTube); introTifa - Grbavica at Grbavica stadium, with Zeljo's fans; (Youtube) outroIvica Osim memorial ceremony in Graz (Youtube), during introSev Dah - Grbavica (Youtube) (background track)CNN's Christiane Amanpour reporting after the Srebrenica genocide (Youtube - warning, brutality and dead bodies)Uni of Michigan Libraries, resource guide for Bosnian history and cultureSarajevo (wikipedia)Visit SarajevoNEW: send me a text message!

Una tercera guerra mundial no empezará con una gran batalla, sino de forma fragmentada y difusa. Las guerras mundiales del pasado comenzaron con disparos reconocibles: Sarajevo en 1914 o Polonia en 1939, quizás lo que vivimos o vayamos a vivir no tenga fecha exacta de inicio. No habrá declaraciones (no las hubo en Ucrania, en Gaza, Irán o África), no habrá un único frente ni un parte oficial que nos narre, aunque sea con propaganda avances y victorias, si hay pie a ello. La nueva guerra ya está aquí, fragmentada, híbrida y sin fronteras, pero ha venido para cambiar el orden mundial, plagar campo y ciudad de cadáveres, acelerar el irreversible cambio ecológico y, quien sabe, ser el último conflicto que dé paso a una nueva civilización o a su destrucción.

During what he calls a “terrible soccer game” his son was playing, Ademir Sarcevic picked up a recruiter's call that would change his career. The game was lopsided, but the timing was fortunate. Within months, Sarcevic was interviewing with Standex International's leadership team. By 2019, he was CFO of the diversified manufacturer, helping guide a portfolio that spans precision electronics to specialty machinery.Sarcevic's readiness for that moment was shaped years earlier in Sarajevo. He came to the United States during the Bosnian war in the mid-1990s, an experience that taught him to “be ready for anything.” His first job after graduate school was at General Instrument Corporation, where a finance rotational program exposed him to audit, FP&A, and accounting. Later, at a pre-IPO company, he helped take the firm public—only to see the dot-com crash unfold immediately after. It was a lesson in resilience and the unpredictability of markets, Sarcevic tells us.International assignments added new perspectives. In Paris, he served as controller for a billion-dollar Tyco business, and in Switzerland he became CFO for a Pentair global unit. Along the way, he experienced more mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures than he can count, reinforcing the value of flexibility and objectivity.At Standex, Sarcevic applies these lessons through a disciplined M&A approach. Every acquisition, he tells us, must meet three tests: “strategic fit, financial sense, and culture.” That rigor has paid off—recent acquisitions, he notes, “have been phenomenal…performing better than we even thought.”

In this wide-ranging and deeply personal conversation, Pat Kahnke speaks with Reverend Tihomir Kukolja—a Christian leader shaped by war, steeped in reconciliation work, and unafraid to speak hard truths. Kukolja reflects on the collapse of Yugoslavia, the rise of Donald Trump, the horrors of Gaza, and the dangerous theology driving evangelical silence and complicity. Drawing from decades of international ministry and firsthand experience in Sarajevo, he warns that the same forces that tore apart the Balkans are at work in America—and in the church. Together, they explore: • The emotional and political costs of evangelical eschatology • How Christian nationalism mirrors religious extremism • Why “criticizing Israel” is not antisemitism • The model of Jesus vs. the model of Trump • How truth-telling, not niceness, heals division This is not abstract theology. It's about how we lead, how we love, and whether our faith contributes to peace—or war. “Christian nationalism and Islamic jihadism are two sides of the same coin—when faith is used to justify violence, it's no longer the faith of Jesus.” – Tihomir Kukolja If you've been searching for faithful resistance and global Christian perspective, this episode is a must-listen.

This week, we take you back to the final years of Yugoslavia, a country that exploded into one of the bloodiest wars Europe has seen since WWII. We trace how ethnic tensions, decades of suppressed rivalries, and opportunistic leaders tore the region apart, while Europe watched on, paralysed. We explore how the Serb army launched brutal assaults across Croatia and Bosnia, committing acts of ethnic cleansing that left over 100,000 Bosnians dead, often at the hands of their own neighbours. For years, the West hesitated. But after a dramatic shift in Washington, the U.S. stepped in, arming the Croats, launching air strikes, and ultimately brokering the Dayton Accords to end the war. In this episode, we follow the story from Vukovar to Sarajevo, from Belgrade backroom deals to Clinton's White House. We explain how Croatia won the war but lost nearly a million people to emigration, how Serbia suffered the worst hyperinflation ever recorded, and how Slovenia quietly became the EU's success story, set to overtake the UK in GDP per capita within five years. We also reflect on the strange persistence of empire: Russia still backs Serbia, Turkey stands with Bosnia, and the West never really forgot its favourites. Hosted on Acast.

In a picturesque valley in the mountains of eastern Bosnia, thousands of white gravestones bear witness to a mass atrocity that still struggles for a place in Europe's conscience. Nearly 8,400 names are etched into a stone memorial, a stark reminder of the Srebrenica Genocide committed by Bosnian Serb forces against Bosnian Muslims in July 1995 – 30 years ago this year. And yet, too many political leaders and others continue denying the scale and scope of the travesty that unfolded there.What has the world learned about genocide denial since Srebrenica? How has that denial echoed persistent efforts to negate or diminish the Holocaust? And how does denial and the politics around it tie into efforts to prevent a repeat elsewhere in the world?Viola Gienger, Washington Senior Editor at Just Security is joined by Sead Turcalo, Professor of Security Studies at the University of Sarajevo and author of Thirty Years After the Srebrenica Genocide: Remembrance and the Global Fight Against Denial, published in Just Security; Velma Saric, founder and president of the Post-Conflict Research Center in Sarajevo; and Jacqueline Geis, Senior Director at the consulting firm Strategy for Humanity and a Research Fellow at the Human Rights Center at the University of California Berkeley School of LawShow Notes:  Sead Turcalo's “Thirty Years After the Srebrenica Genocide: Remembrance and the Global Fight Against Denial,” published in Just SecurityJackie Geis' “From Open-Source to All-Source: Leveraging Local Knowledge for Atrocity Prevention,” published in Just SecurityVelma Saric's Post-Conflict Research Center and the associated blog Balkan Diskurs.Michael Schiffer and Pratima T.

In this summer edition of Parenting is a Joke, Ophira Eisenberg catches up with stand-up comic, filmmaker, and war-zone performer Jennifer Rawlings. Jennifer reflects on her years raising five kids while performing for U.S. troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Sarajevo—often leaving behind toddlers and pull-ups for flak vests and flatbed stages. She shares how her youngest son, now a film professional, co-directed her new special I Only Smoke in War Zones, which captures her real-life experiences performing comedy amid explosions, basketball-court gigs with no mics, and chow-hall sets surrounded by barbed wire. Ophira and Jennifer get real about the guilt moms carry, the emotional labor of parenting adult children, and the horror of seeing your grown kid's partner move into your basement. Jennifer recalls being handed a Kevlar vest mid-set as mortars went off and jokes that her kids were so feral when she returned from 30 days in Iraq, she wasn't even sure she'd been missed. They also talk about how her work in war zones exposed her to young mothers and children missing limbs, fueling a deeper drive to tell women's stories both on stage and in film. And yes—her son did call her in Afghanistan just to complain his brother ate all the Cheez-Its.
