The Community of Bosnia (COB) dedicates itself to summoning the power of humanity against all forms of racism and genocide. The Foundation specifically works for a culturally pluralistic, multi-religious Bosnia.

This document also includes Andras Riedlmayer's Congressional testimony on cultural genocide in Bosnia, illustrated with photos of Bosnian art and architecture.
