Book Smugglers: How Poet Partisans Saved Jewish Cultural Treasures from the Nazis
Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
The fact that the Holocaust has also become the destruction of culture, speech comes in infrequently. Millions of Jewish books, manuscripts and works of art were burned or thrown away. Hundreds of thousands of valuable items were transported to special libraries and institutes in Germany in order to study the race, which was expected to erase from the face of the earth.
In the bewitching rhythm, the book "Book smugglers" will tell the almost incredible story of the ghetto prisoners in Vilna, "Lithuanian Jerusalem", which saved thousands of rare books and manuscripts - first from the Nazis, and then from the Soviets, hiding them on their bodies, burying them, burying them in bunkers and crossing it with smuggling across the boundaries.
This is a story about heroism and resistance, about friendship and romance, about unshakable devotion and readiness to risk your life, about true love for literature and art. This is a story about people who did not allow their culture to be trampled and burned. This is a chronicle of the most dangerous operation, which was carried out by the poets who became partisans, and scientists who became smugglers. This is the story of men and women who have actually demonstrated their unbending commitment to literature and art and risked their lives for this. This is a story about the confrontation between the two most bloody regimes in history
