Sarajevo War Hostel recreates life during siege of city

A hostel has been set up to recreate the conditions of those trapped inside the Siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian war. The hostel is run by a family who survived the three-year-long siege and hope to educate guests about their experience. The unique hostel sees residents sleep in military beds, only use candles and lamps, and hear the sounds of gunfights in the distance. Nov 25, 2016
