 event is part of a free program series designed to increase dialogue and 
 understanding between local faith communities, supported by multiple 
 religious organizations across Marin.\n\nTHE STORY BEHIND THE EXHIBIT\nIn 
 this European War, Jews were not the victims. In this war, Jews, Muslims 
 and Christians joined forces to stand against hate.\n\nThe Bosnian-Serb 
 siege of Sarajevo, from spring 1993 until winter 1996, was the longest in 
 modern history. With electricity, water and food supplies cut off and only 
 sporadically supplied, with 11,541 citizens shot by snipers or killed by 
 mortars, Sarajevans had to depend on each other.\n\nIn a faded, 
 turn-of-the-century synagogue, a group of Holocaust survivors and their 
 offspring created La Benevolencija, the Jewish humanitarian aid agency. Who 
 worked there? Jews and Muslims, Serbian Orthodox and Catholic Croats--all 
 those who never believed one ethnic group was superior to another.\n\nAfter 
 all, Jews had lived alongside all their neighbors since they were welcomed 
 in Sarajevo in the 16th century. This is the story of how they paid their 
 neighbors back.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/12/06/18747376.php
