About the Cover

Cover Figure

Cover: In July 1995, thousands of Muslim men and boys were killed along the “Trail of Life and Death,” which stretches from Srebrenica to Tuzla in the former Yugoslavia, now Bosnia-Hercegovina. In the years that followed, forensic scientists exhumed bodies and artifacts from those massacres in order to build a record of human rights violations that makes the denial of war crimes difficult, if not impossible. Writer Eric Stover and photographer Gilles Peress document this work in their book, The Graves: Srebrenica and Vukovar (New York: Scalo, 1998). This photograph, taken in late 1996 in a makeshift morgue in Kalesija, shows the careful assemblage of clothes from one of the victims. Exhuming history for the purposes of justice is common to both human rights and public health approaches, where the careful documentation of violence supports efforts to prevent its repetition.
