On July 11, 1995, Nura was separated from her father, brother, father-in-law, and her brother-in-law. Only her father’s remains have been identified and buried. “I know nothing of what happened to my relatives, only my father,” she said.
Prior to coming to Tuzla in 1996, Nura moved in and out of collective centers in Dubrave, Sicki, and Simin Han. She began working at BOSFAM in 1995 and weaving has been her only source of income since then.
All three of Nura’s children have finished their education and are employed thanks to her perseverance – an impressive feat given the current level of unemployment in Bosnia. Nura is a very hard worker herself and a highly skilled weaver. She is a great woman who makes everyone laugh with her witty comments. Back
