The fact that the Holocaust has also become the destruction of culture does not come often. Millions of Jewish books, manuscripts and artworks were burned or discarded. Hundreds of thousands of valuable items were transported to special libraries and institutes in Germany in order to study the race, which they hoped to erase from the face of the earth. In spellbinding rhythm, Book Smugglers will tell the almost incredible story of ghetto prisoners in Vilna, "Lithuanian Jerusalem," who saved thousands of rare books and manuscripts - first from the Nazis and then from the Soviets, hiding them on their bodies, burying them in bunkers and smuggling them across borders. This is a story about heroism and resistance, about friendship and romance, about unwavering devotion and willingness to risk your life, about true love for literature and art.
