Summary

Ovaj plan urađen je na CENTROPINOM seminaru u Sarajevu 13. 10. 2015. i rezultat je rada grupe 3 u kojoj su bili Marko Dimitrijević, Vesna Robnik, Senka Jankov, Predrag Nešović, Dragan Georgijevski, Elvira Bašić, Sanela Češko i Admir Ibričić.

The Bosnian-Serb siege of Sarajevo, from spring 1993 until winter 1996, was the longest in modern history. With electricity, water and food supplies cut off and only sporadically supplied, with 11,541 citizens shot by snipers or killed by mortars, Sarajevans had to depend on each other.

This lesson aims to enlighten students about Sephardic history in the Balkans, and was originally taught in the context of a Jewish day school in the United States.  The Jews expelled from Spain who settled in the Balkans were welcomed, and Jews were generally accepted as part of society, as they were in all parts of the Ottoman Empire.
