Amela Fako, a 24-year-old Muslim woman, found this photograph of her
family when she returned to her home in Ilidza after the war. That was
about all she found. Bosnian Serbs had cleaned out almost everything
in her home but left this image, defaced by a drill bit, "a primitive message,
part of the other war, one not done with guns," she said. "It was the war
of fear, the war on the mind. They wanted to make it difficult for us to
come home."
