Herzeg-Lager
In July 1993 university professor Fahrudin Rizvanbegovic was arrested as a civilian in his home town of Stolac and sent to the HVO 'collection centre' at Dretelj. He spent six months altogether in the camps at Dretelj and Ljubuski witnessing brutal interrogations, starvation and murder. The inmates included thirteen-year-old children and men of seventy. The children could be seen gradually changing their physiognomy, acquiring the faces we have seen on photographs from Dachau, Kolima and Omarska.
