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. |
