Sarajevo’s most famous artefact, a 700-year-old Jewish prayer book called the Haggadah, captures the story the city wants to tell about itself. But is it accurate?

Saved from the Nazis by a Muslim and a Catholic, and then again from destruction in the 1990s by another Muslim, the story of the Haggadah captures the possibility of living together and caring for one another's treasures.

But as Farrah Jarral visits the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina and sees the book for herself, she hears another story – of the immense challenges of overcoming the forces of ethno-religious grievance.
