Dobri ljudi u vremenu zla
The book Good people in the time of evil (1999) by Svetlana Broz is a collection of true stories from the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995), which bear witness to the humanity, solidarity and moral courage of individuals in the midst of conflict.
The author, a physician and granddaughter of Josip Broz Tito, collects testimonies of acts of kindness in times of hatred and violence through interviews with people of diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds.
The book focuses on ordinary people – Bosniaks, Serbs, Croats and others – who, risking their own lives, helped neighbors, friends and even strangers, regardless of their nationality. The stories include rescuing people from persecution, providing shelter, sharing food or medical aid, often in conditions of extreme fear and danger. Broz emphasizes universal values such as empathy, courage and humanity, which transcend ethnic divisions.
The book is not only a chronicle of heroic deeds, but also a critique of war and nationalism that destroy communities. The author shows how individuals, often opposed to environmental pressures, chose moral correctness over hatred. The work is a powerful message of hope, reminding us that even in the darkest times, there are those who preserve humanity.
Good Men in a Time of Evil is a poignant document about the strength of the individual to resist evil, leaving a lasting impression on the importance of solidarity and compassion.
