Logavina Street was a microcosm of Sarajevo, a six-block-long
history lesson. For four centuries, it existed as a quiet
residential area in a charming city long known for its ethnic and
religious tolerance. On this street of 240 families, Muslims and
Christians, Serbs and Croats lived easily together, unified by
their common identity as Sarajevans. Then the war tore it all
apart.
