This is part 3 of the series called: Old Books and One Disaster.
The burning of books to me, is a peculiar and appalling event. Because every book, especially rare books and manuscripts, represents a part of our human memory. Destroying it means destroying a part of our human identity. So this episode (and the next one) will be about books that talk about the disaster of destroying books.
You can also find the other episodes about Old Books and One distaster on this Channel:

I hope you enjoy this episode!
