Thousands of Markers and One Cross: The Catholic Rudolf Hren Rests with His Own in Potočari

Rudolf Hren, a Catholic who came to Srebrenica as a three-month-old baby, disappeared in July 1995, after the fall of Srebrenica, while making his way through the forest with a column of men toward Tuzla. His remains were found in a secondary mass grave in Kamenica and identified in 2010. His mother, wife and daughter decided that he should be buried at the Potočari Memorial Center, among the people with whom he had lived and with whom he perished.
