My name is Mirsad Smajic. I am from the town of Kljuc in western part of my homeland Bosnia and Herzegovina.

From May 25, 1992 until June 6, 1992 me and my family, wife and two children, were placed in house arrest.

Then, on June 6, 1992 I was taken from my home to the town’s police building, where I was hold and tortured for three days.

On June 9 I was transferred from the town of Kljuc’s police building to the concentration camp Manjaca. I was interned in Manjaca camp until its closure in December 1992. I was freed on December 16 under International Red Cross (ICR) program and contracts. I then traveled to Zagreb where on December 19 I finally reunited with my wife and children.

My “Fragments” are documents related to my detention, expulsion and ethnic cleansing, dealing with the IRC, as well as improvised ‘paper’ sheets used for mental and emotional survival and our inmates’ self-organizing and documenting.

Thank you for reading my story.
