About This Document
In this press release issued for a nationwide candlelight vigil, Croatian-Canadian women call on Canada and the world to confront the moral cost of inaction during the Balkan wars.
Held on Mother’s Day 1993, the vigil honors mothers and children lost to violence, denounces global complacency, and connects international tragedy with local compassion by collecting food for Toronto’s hungry.
