The Balic Family

 

Mama & Papa Balic at home with Ferid.  She milked the familiy's two cows and went to mosque for prayer before the sun came up this morning.

The familiy has lived on this property for five generations.  This is not uncommon in Bosnia. Some families have lived on the same property for 4-5 centuries.

Village ruins across from the Balic home. This family of nine lost a 27 year old son in the war.  Ferid was inprisoned in a concentration camp for five months.

   One of the outbuildings on the Balic property. This area has been inhabited continuously for the past 4,000 years.

    Ferid in his brother's shop where he turns out brass pens on a lathe.  They sell to souvenir shops for $1.00 apiece.

Three of the grandchildren, Dino, Merima, and Benjamin.
