In Suharekë, on March 26th 1999, 48 members of the Berisha family were massacred by the genocidal Serbian regime. Men, women and children were targeted simply because they were Albanians.
On that night of horror, 19 children were also brutally murdered. Altin’s bag, Redon’s shoes and Kushtrim’s bicycle are the last memories of the innocent children who were violently killed.
Only three people survived this tragedy – Vjollca with her son Gramoz and Shyhrete.
To save their lives, they jumped from the moving truck, which was transporting the bodies towards Prizren. According to Vjollca Berisha’s accounts, there were others in that truck who were still alive, but seriously injured.
The survivors are witnesses to the crime and the wait for justice, and the pain will never end, nor will our voices be silenced. There can be no lasting peace without justice!
