Dr. Ivana Damjanovic is the world’s leading forensic anthropologist for a specific kind of dead: the ones no one claimed. The ones found in mass graves in the Balkans, in unmarked pits outside Mosul, in the root cellars of cartel territory. She does not go to conferences. She does not publish op-eds. She goes to the mud.
She has testified at The Hague. She has been threatened by three intelligence services. She keeps a single photograph on her desk: a meadow in eastern Bosnia, wildflowers, no bodies visible. But she knows. Twelve meters down, there are mothers holding children. She identified every one. dr ivana damjanovic
