her extraordinary story of escape
On May 1. 1902. BSA came to
Brcko. At first, they took young
men. and then women and chil
dren She was pregnant at that
time, and her husband took her
and her kids to her father's house
when their house was hurried
down loiter on, they were cap
tured by Serf**, and her husband
was se|jaralad from (he rest of the
family because Serbs were sep
arating men and women from
iJiildrwn and elderly persons. The
latter ones were put into a so
called "Muslim village," and
Serbs came every day to harass
them The former ones, includ

what happened to them after that
She and her family stayed for
only three months in Brcko.
Muslim forces took one village
and began exchanging people in
Brcko It was a slow process, but
she asked Red Cross to be
exiiianged quickly because it was
letter to be under Muslim forces
protection. Then, in November,
she and her family spent six
months in the village near Tuzla
It was a horrible place with little
food for her children and shelled
by Serbs everyday. So. one day
she and her family got on one of
throe buses from that village to a
safer place through forests.
They traveled three days and
nights in a bus. But in |abranica
whore the Bill army and HVO
were fighting. Muslims were
fort ixl to leave the buses by HVO.
Muslims were put into one bus
and Croats remained in another
bus. She begged HVO soldiers
and slaved in the buses with
Croats. One time the buses were
checked by the BiH army, but
they didn't ask passengers'
nationalities. "HVO asked our
nationalities," she said. "And
they tried to separate Croats from
Muslims." In Mostar, HVO tried
to put men and women in differ
ent buses. She begged again and
stayed with her old father. Final
ly, buses reached the border (near
Metkovic) between BiH and Croa
tia.
She and her family found out
that they couldn't cross the bor
der because they didn't have any
written documents and the bor
der was closed. They went to a
refugee camp in Caplina. In that
camp, she met one humanitarian
worker, whose name is Martin,
from England. Martin gave mon
ey to her so that it could be used
as a bribe for Croat soldiers in the
border. As instructed, she gave
money to the Croat soldiers, and
her family could cross the bor
