The fact that they were Serbs didn't seem to be an issue to them or any of their neighbors...until war broke out between Croatia and Yugoslavia in 1991. Like many others in Zagreb, the family spent many nights in underground shelters as their city was being bombed by the Yugoslav National Army.

There they hoped for acceptance and safety. What they found was far different.
