umiralo...
Ovdje se i umire
da bi se živjelo

One does not

Time should not erase the memory of all those faces dear to us
that the evil nineties cruelly took away.
We will remember them and remember our 94 fellow Kozara people who were killed in a cruel and cowardly way here in 1944.
Our dear ones,
may you all rest in peace.
