"If there have been people who, even in the worst of times, and sometimes at the cost of their own lives, refused to act inhumanely themselves, and if there are people able to testify to this, have we the right to ignore them?"
At the height of ethnic conflicts in Bosnia, cardiologist Svetlana Broz, granddaughter of the former Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito, volunteered for service in the war zone.  Rather than finding complete despair and hatred she started hearing stories of "enemies" crossing ethnic borders to help each other.  Now she shares her experiences and views on atrocities and acts of courage during war and possibilities for understanding and reconciliation.
