Summary/Abstract: Quarter of a century after the genocide was committed over the Bosniaks, the issue of memorialization of its victims has become one of the significant issues in collective memory of Bosniaks. What is evident in Bosnia and Herzegovina is a total absence of the theme of this genocide in the educational system as a crucial element for the collective memory of a nation. Even though there are some indicators of progress in this regard, still it is far from sufficient. In this regard it is necessary to develop some approaches towards informal education about this important topic. However it is required that educational and scientific methods are adjusted so as to suite the new generations. This article aims at offering certain advises and guidelines regarding the passing on the correct information about the genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina to new generations.
