The museum houses audio, video and objects from World War II to the current war in Ukraine - a collection that spans both the globe and time.NPR's Adrian Ma speaks with Jasminko Halilovic about growing up in war torn Bosnia, and dignity and resilience of children facing war.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
