They have to leave the men behind

  • By Stories and photosLee Malis

A YOUNG woman says goodbye to her brother and father as she gets into a car. Her mother, sister, and a younger brother are going with her.

They have to leave the men behind at the refugee center in Travnik. If the men were caught traveling, they would be put into the Bosnian Army or imprisoned by the Serbs.

The family's visa is forged, but they are going to try to get out of Bosnia anyway.

The women say they are afraid they will never see the older brother and father again.

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.
