Thousands of people have converged on the Bosnian town of Srebrenica to mark the 27th anniversary of Europe’s only acknowledged genocide since the Holocaust and to attend the funerals of 50 recently identified victims.

As mourners from around Bosnia and the world arrived, families of victims were preparing to rebury their loved ones and maybe find some closure after the decades-long search for their remains in mass graves scattered around the town.
