Missing Lives

The wars that scarred the Balkans in the 1990s cost the lives of about 140,000 people, a quarter of whom simply vanished and were reported missing by their families. In 2010, almost 15,000 people remain unaccounted for. Missing Lives highlight 15 moving individual stories selected among thousands.
