I asked these men - who came to assist me while I was looking at a map - if they could help me identify a specific place mentioned in the indictment of Milosevic where a number of civilians had been murdered. The men were all from the village of Velika Krusha,  and had returned to locate missing family members. They asked to see the copy of the indictment I was carrying so they could help me. One of the men called Naser Mazreku looked slowly at the indictment and was watched closely by his friends. It was a fraught and silent minute. What I didn't know or anticipate was that in the incitement were the names of everyone in the village killed by the Serbs which included Naser Mazrekus family who were shot and burned in a house 50 meters from where we were standing.

This and the following three photographs show the bodies of two men executed in a vineyard in the village of Xrce. The naked man carefully folded his clothes and tucked his socks into his shoes before he was killed. It appears that the killers wanted to determine whether the man was circumcised before he was killed.

When NATO's bombing campaign started and the Serb military intensified it's operations knowing that their reign was about to end many Kosovar families were separated in the chaos that ensued. Only when the conflict ended and families returned home from neighboring countries could they determine who had survived. The Kbasci family could not account for four of their number: Shaip (66), his wife Sanije (62), their son Ramadan (41) and grandson Floren (6 months). Shortly after making it home they heard from neighbours that their kin had been executed and buried in a field on their farm. These photographs show the men of the family exhuming the bodies and taking them to the women for reburial.

The outline of the body of Kola Dusmani, who according to criminal investigators, was killed by Russian para-militiaries in a small village outside the ancient market town of Gjakove. After he was murdered, the house where the crime was committed was burned. Soot and ashes covered the body. After the war was over and the family that owned he home returned, they removed Dusmani's remains from their living room. This outline could not be removed. Today it is concealed by a carpet.
