The male interviewee, born in 1928 and with a Serb background, recalls memories about his experiences during the WWII. He describes the attack of the German army in 1944 and the hunger and hardship his family faced. The narrator tells how his family lost property and experienced a famine during this war. During the 1990s the narrator had to flee during Operation Storm in August 1995. He fled to a refugee center in Serbia where he stayed until April 1997. He recalls how hard it was to leave behind his house and cattle, losing it for a second time. The narrator describes the humanitarian aid he received during the war and emphasizes that this war, in contrary to the WWII, should and could have been avoided. He is telling about how he would like to see that every citizen would gain full equal rights and sees this as a solution to prevent another war from happening.
