The story is 200 years old and unknown in Sarajevo.
According to her, in 1819, Muslims rose up against an Ottoman governor who threatened to kill the Jewish elite of the city.
To celebrate the 200th anniversary of this marvelous salvation, Purim, Bosnia's Jewish and Muslim communities have organised a conference, which in their eyes is a model of coexistence of the two communities.
“The Shemball of Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina can serve as a model for a normal and common life between Jews and Muslims”, said Jakob Finci, president of the Bosnian Jewish community, during the conference.
In Jewish tradition, Purim is a festival celebrated each year at the end of the winter-start of spring, according to the Hebrew calendar and commemorates the release of Jews threatened by a massacre under the Persian Empire, according to the Bible.
