Summary/Abstract: The article is questioning the content of the contemporary history textbooks in Bosnia and Herzegovina about the war 1992-1995 as the topic which became part of the curricula in Bosnia and Herzegovina again after the 18 years long break. Diversity of approach in interpretation of the character of the war as well as the representations of the war crimes and mass atrocities are continuing to deepen the divisions between the children of school age.
