Kemal Karic (nicknamed Kemo) was born on 29 January 1992 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Even before the time he could say ‘mum’, even before he was three months old - on 20 April 1992, his mother was killed by a mortar explosion while she was running towards shelter. She was carrying little Kemo who was heavily injured. He lost his right leg. One of the youngest war victims in Sarajevo, or to say a survivor. (more…)
