The end of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992–1995) brings no relief to the women who survived. They have to find their missing men, bury and mourn them, which would be impossible without the forensic anthropologist Ewa Elwira Klonowski. The reporter returned to Bosnia many times and took part in the exhumation of mass graves. There were no great battles here, but neighbours who killed neighbours and boys who killed girls from their old school.
