The main focus of this thesis is the concept of memory and how it varies through individuals from different social backgrounds, who were affected by the same historical event. A person’s age, gender, work, education and family context are all major factors in their perception of observed reality Through deep interviewing of these different, unique and separate individuals, we are able to construct a bigger picture and a comprehensive understanding of the events that happened in 99s Yugoslavia, when the NATO airstrikes occurred, and to access how it affected public memory. These events had a great impact on the country, and are holding a lot of questions that are still unanswered today. The stories of the victims are similar, yet unique in their own ways. Thanks to the diversity of both individuals and stories, we are able to compare a great amount of information, allowing us to understand the complexity of human memory functions.
