SREBRENICA, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Hoisting hundreds of coffins aloft, a line of weeping relatives stretched for at least a mile Sunday as they honored Srebrenica massacre victims on the 15th anniversary of the worst atrocity in Europe since World War II.

A hillside was dug out with graves, waiting for 775 coffins covered in green cloths. Still, that was less than a tenth of the total number of Muslim men and boys executed after Serb forces overran the U.N.-protected town on July 11, 1995, during the 1992-95 Bosnian war.

When the procession reached the hill, about 60,000 people splintered into rivulets as relatives sought the exact grave for their loved ones.
