Bosnian Genocide personal story

Hey guys, I've found some good sources about the Bosnian Genocide but just a day ago, I found an amazing personal story that I will definitely be using for my paper. Here's the link:

http://www.nbcnews.com/id/43272062/ns/world_news-europe/t/survivor-recounts-horror-bosnias-killing-fields/#.VIUKETFpe1w

Since this event occurred in the 1990's, this article in not super current (written in 2011), but the story is quite amazing and if you have time to check it out, I would encourage you to do so.

If you can't I'll give you a basic summary.

A man named Mevludin Oric was one of the only survivors to live through the genocide, and recounts his near death experiences and the terrible things he endured. This is written with "flash backs," because he is recounting what happened to him but in reality, he is sharing the story with his eldest daughter.
