‘I Hate War’: Children’s Letters to America from Besieged Sarajevo

"Although our living conditions are totally different from yours, we are just like you, interested in the same things. We love music, sports, films, Coca-Cola, love… Just like you!"

This was a letter that 15-year-old Arma Tanovic-Brankovic sent to a schoolchild in the United States during the wartime siege of her home city, Sarajevo, in the 1990s.
