Zlata Filipovic started writing her diary at the age of 10 a few months before war broke out in Sarajevo. She had no idea that war was imminent. In fact, even when she saw news footage of Dubrovnik, Croatia, she couldn’t conceive of war coming to Sarajevo. She couldn’t imagine that the surrounding area would be devastated by shelling and that she would be confined to one room in her family’s apartment without the basic necessities of life.
