...Personal Reflections on anti-Semitism in the Balkans

As it happened, while I was traveling to Bosnia and Herzegovina in July, Adela Levis, my assistant, was traveling there for a three-week summer holiday. Adela was born in Zagreb, Croatia, but her family left with the start of the war in 1991.

She never expected to find anti-semitism?
