The Serbian Genocide of WWII is relatively unknown to the Western World, except for some historians or those partial to Balkan or WWII history. Even though one million people were killed; many were murdered in ungodly fashion.

The catastrophic genocide, which is estimated to have wiped out 45% of the Serbian population, is generally not discussed by main stream media sources, who give their attention to other genocides such as more recent but far less catastrophic atrocities.

To put it into perspective the Serbian, Jewish, Roma genocide was 125 times worse than Srebenica. The latter is constantly being termed as "the worst genocide in Europe since WWII" by main stream media sites. Comparing a regional genocide of 8000 to a colossal worldwide atrocity whereby 60 million died is not an appropriate or just comparison. Moreover it skews understanding particularly for those with a limited understanding of both events. WWII killed 7500 times more people than Srbenica. In other words, comparing the two events is not a comparison worth making.

The actual reason why Srebenica is remembered is because of Western intervention particularly by the Clinton administration which claimed the intervention was done for "humanitarian reasons." However, humanitarian actions should not only be given to some and not others. The Clinton government, failed to intervene in Rwanda in 1994 when one million Tutsis were hacked to death. The Rwandan genocide had 125 times greater death toll than in Srebenica. Lastly, volatile tensions in Rwanda were well known by world powers. There was a small genocide of Tutsis by Hutus in the 60s that precipitated the 1994 one. The world reacted with the same indifference then as it did in 1994. The West also received ample warning by peace keepers most notably Canadian Romeo Dallaire of the impending violence. Yet, no intervention took place. The Rwandan genocide and Srebenica happened within one year of each other. Yet, the differences in the international responses to these two atrocities could not be more different. 

It is important to do your own research, to study peer reviewed articles, to read academic books and most importantly to come to your own conclusion. 

Lastly, it is important to remember genocides in proportion not just to when they happened but also in proportion to their death toll and brutality. The victims ethnicity should not play a part in whether the victim is remembered. The Western World consistently fails in their part to remember the Serbian, Jewish, Roma genocide of WWII. To forget a genocide is to kill twice.
