"Burning Books" - a 50-minute documentary film by Knut Jorfald, made
to mark the 10th anniversary of the burning of Bosnia's National Library
in Aug. 1992 has been shown by IKON on Dutch television (soundtrack in
Dutch, English and Bosnian; a full English version the documentary is also
available). It is now online (thanks to Frank Tiggelaar of Domovina Net)
and can be seen at: http://www.domovina.net/burning_books.ram
The documentary includes dramatic footage of the library on fire. Excerpts
from the film were shown on 8 July in court at the UN war crimes tribunal,
as part of the trial of Slobodan Milosevic on charges of crimes against
humanity and genocide.
"Das war ein Vorspiel nur. Dort wo man Buecher verbrennt, verbrennt man
auch am Ende Menschen." (That was just a prelude. Where they burn books,
they will also burn people in the end) - Heinrich Heine, "Almansor" 1821
