But many cannot even vote in their hometowns, including Esad, who asked that his real name not be used. "There's no way I'll go to vote in Doboj," says the gaunt, soft-spoken former factory worker, sitting in the tiny room he shares with his wife and two daughters in Muslim-held territory south of the city, "I'm still too shocked from the beating I got the last time I tried to cross."

The audience needs no subtitles to read the feelings in this man's brave, troubled heart...
...named "Bendix" digs up World War II battlefields so that he can commune with the skeletons of fallen German soldiers. Clerks and metal workers by day turn into street brawlers and arsonists at night. For nonviolent recreation some play a kind of anti-Semitic Can You Top This: a gaunt Nazi nostalgist goes by the nickname "Auschwitz"; a rich Austrian patron of the movement paints a Star of David inside his toilet bowl; a distributor of Holocaust-denial material jocularly offers his customers a computer game called Concentration Camp Manager...
