Filipovic, Zlata (c. 1981—)

Bosnian diarist. Name variations: Zlata Filipovic. Born in Sarajevo, Bosnia, around 1981; only daughter of Malik (a lawyer) and Alica Filipović (a biochemist).

Dubbed the Anne Frank of the Bosnian War, Sarajevo schoolgirl Zlata Filipović was ten years old and looking forward to a new school year when she began a diary. The only child of a middle-class couple, she was a precocious student who took tennis and piano lessons and had a passion for pizza, American movies, and Michael Jackson. "I wanted to have a happy memory from a happy childhood," she said. "I wanted 20 years after to open that funny book and read the things that happened." By April of 1992, however, Sarajevo was under siege by Bosnian Serbs, and Filipović's diary, much like Anne Frank's (which she had read), turned into a heartwrenching chronicle of the horrors of war and a young girl's loss of innocence.

"Oh God! Things are heating up in Sarajevo," she wrote on March 5, 1992, as the conflict was in its early stages. "On Sunday, A small group of armed civilians (as they say on TV

In 1992, a press shop in Sarajevo released Zlatin Dnevnik, a small collection of personal dictations from a local girl who had spent the last several years enduring the horrors of the Bosnian War. The original publication included just 45 pages and was largely consumed by city residents. However, soon the harrowing account of Zlata Filipovicâs experiences during the conflict reached millions around the globe. From a personal meeting with the U.S. President Bill Clinton to a nationally televised interview with Charlie Rose, Zlata and her diary became a cultural phenomenon (Baum, 1994). When the violence which brutalized her homeland seemed distant and secluded, Zlataâs story humanized the struggles of her countrymen. Thirty years have passed since Filipovicâs memoir was first published, but the plight of children caught in the crossfire of war has remained. As the violence in Ukraine and Gaza continues, itâs more important than ever to be reminded of the impact that systematic violence has on childrenâs psyches.
