The passing of Honorary Board Member, Mensur Seferovic is an immense loss for our community

It is with absolute sadness and grief that we are regrettably announcing the passing of Mr. Mensur Seferovic, an Honorary Board Member of the Bosnian-American Genocide Institute.
He was born in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina on November 25th, 1925. Mr. Seferovic was a concentration camp survivor, he was interned at a camp in Southern Italy during World War II. He was an anti-fascist fighter who carried on his beliefs of anti-fascism through his research and writing. From 1955 until 2014 he published 24 books. These books are records of his research and untold stories that span the Balkans.
Mr. Seferovic was a prolific writer, a detailed record keeper and an empathic storyteller. This is an immense loss for our community and we want to ask everyone to keep Mr. Seferovic’s family in mind during this difficult time. The Board of Directors sends their condolences to the former President of the Board, Sanja Drnovsek and her siblings, children and family during this time.
