In the Yugoslav wars tens of thousands of Europeans vanished. In a
desperate need for news, their families prayed for a message,
begged for the truth and fell for blackmail. In almost every case,
the missing had been murdered. But without word, witness or body,
the bereaved could not accept their loss. Their torment was drawn
out as long as ten, even eighteen years - for many it continues
still. Children waited for parents to return from the grave.
Mothers made up their dead son's beds. Old men couldn't bury their
descendants. The living also lost their lives. For the first time
in war DNA has been used to match blood and bone, reuniting
families divided by death, enabling survivors to find closure and
to begin to live again. These fifteen, heartbreaking Balkan stories
- told by Rory MacLean and Nick Danziger, two of Europe's most
sensitive chroniclers - represent a tiny proportion of an immense
tragedy. "Missing Lives" gives a voice to the unacknowledged
suffering of these families, to all who went missing by force, and
reminds us that in war - whatever the technological advances -
there is no greater loss than the disappearance of those we love.
