“Mirad had asked for peace for his birthday.
Imagine, a boy of thirteen who asks for peace as a birthday present.
When I heard that I cried.”
Ad De Bont, Mirad, a Boy from Bosnia
“After the second world war
in 1948
they founded the UN,
the United Nations
so that a crime like the mass-murder of
the Jews
could never happen again.
Now the UN is a flourishing organization
a honourable institution,
the only thing is that it doesn't do the thing they founded it for:

prevention of mass-murder.”
Ad De Bont, Mirad, a Boy from Bosnia
“Why a slow death in a strange country if you can die on the threshold of your own house?
Refugees don't exist.
Only blown away people exist,
people blown by the wind
all over the world.”
Ad De Bont, Mirad, a Boy from Bosnia
