Visit Sarajevo and the Croatian coast Open to JDC Ambassadors and their Families As we commemorate the 20th anniversary of the siege of Sarajevo, which marked the start of the Bosnian war, we will join together in an act of strength and hope: a walk to promote breast cancer awareness and treatment. We will also meet the city's resilient Jewish community, which took the lead in protecting its members and helping others during the Balkans' drawn-out conflict. We will explore Sarajevo's centuries-old Jewish heritage, including visits to the Jewish synagogue, the Jewish cemetery, and a viewing of the world famous Sarajevo Haggadah. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity includes a chance to see Croatia's breathtaking coast and meet its small, embracing Jewish communities. .................................................................
