I wrote this post in 2015 after visiting Sarajevo on the 20th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre and spending a day with Amir, a journalist who lived in Sarajevo during the siege. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about this experience and about how a cosmopolitan area of Central Europe where several religions peacefully coexisted turned into a war zone where thousands were slaughtered through ethnic cleansing during the breakup of the former Yugoslavia. I don’t have any answers, but when I look at my own country in 2018, where our president repeatedly stigmatizes immigrants, where the Supreme Court upholds a blatantly xenophobic travel ban against majority Muslim nations, where I hear my fellow citizens (many of them Christians) justify ripping children away from asylum seekers who are fleeing for their lives and putting those children (including toddlers!) in cages, I think, are we next? And what must I do to prevent it?
