Part of the history of Bosnian Jewry:

Daniel also has pictures of the court appearance of the Serbian  
Israeli citizen awaiting extradion to BiH for trial on war crimes  
charges. Daniel's blog is a valuable store-house of information on the  
genocide in Srebenica. Some of my Sarajevo neighbors, people I rode  
the bus with were survivors of this terrible event. Je did another  
thing I am remiss in not having done, Daniel thanked the government of  
Israel for arresting this man. I add my thanks.
I am partly of Jewish descent, bit I admit I have not been a fan if  
some if Israel's actions. I also know that Israel is neccesary. The  
last Stateless people I know about, namely Roma area persecuted  
people. The big difference is that Jews have a homeland and had a State.
I made a point while in Sarajevo of visiting some of the places  
associated with Jewish history in BiH. I did not make it out to the  
cemetary.
Sarajevo is not even the only place in BiH where there were Jewish  
communities.
The Ottoman Empire took Jews from Spain as well as Spanish Arabs in as  
refugees in 1492. They even sent ships to take the people to the  
Balkans.

Right now, I am in a good bit of pain. I threw my back out . I wasn't  
even carrying something heavy. I bent over too fast to get my  
sunglasses which had fallen out of my coat pocket. I could barely  
straighten up. I had a long hot bath hopeing to help the pain. It  
helped last night. Today though, I hurt pretty bad. So I will be  
taking it easy.
I wasn't even lifting anything heavy. That part is what is so weird.
