Mirjana Vujčić was born in 1960 in Banja Luka, in Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the beginning of the 1960s her family moved to Croatia. She grew up in the village of Kostrići near to Hrvatska Kostajnica. She is a professional nurse and has been living in Zagreb with her family since 1979. At the beginning of the war in the 1990s she was in Zagreb, working at the University Hospital Centre 'Rebro'. Her parents, her sister and her sister's family stayed in the area of Hrvatska Kostajnica. Very soon, all connections with Kostajnica and the surrounding areas were cut. The last time she was in contact with her parents and sister was in June 1991. In November 1991 she learned that her parents, her sister, her nephews and her brother-in-law had been killed. The remains of her mother and father were only found in 1997, whilst her sister, nephews and brother-in-law were still reported as missing at the time of the filming of her memories, on June 13, 2011. Mirjana Vujčić returned to Hrvatska Kostajnica in 1995 as part of a state project for the reconstruction of the area. She started working as a nurse at the Community Health Centre. She still lives in Hrvatska Kostajnica.
