They Tried to Erase an Entire Culture

In 1942, a Jewish librarian in Nazi-occupied Lithuania was ordered to sort through one of the most important archives in the world — and destroy most of it. Instead, he and a small group of scholars began smuggling books, manuscripts and artworks out past armed guards, hidden under their coats. One at a time. Every single day. This is the story of the Paper Brigade — the people who risked their lives to make sure an entire culture couldn't be erased. Remnants is a channel about the stories history forgot but shouldn't have. New video every other day. #history #wwii #worldwar2 #holocaust #truestory
