    The Story of Mirsad Selimbegović

    Mirsad Selimbegović was born and raised in Yugoslavia.  He has decided now is the time to share his emotional story of being held captive for many months in military and concentration camps during the war and genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992-1995.  His hope by coming forward is that perhaps it will serve as a reminder of mans inhumanity to man, and will prevent such genocides and atrocities from happening in the future.  Sharing his story, as you will hear, also provides a time for personal healing some 29 years later.
