Summary/Abstract: The paper problematises the issue of the current BiH history textbooks about the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as a theme that has been reintroduced to the BiH curricula after 18 years. Different approaches in interpretation of the war, as well as in representation of war crimes and mass suffering, continues to deepen divisions among school children as well.
