VOICED: Saving East German books from history's rubbish heap

The video discusses a vast collection of around 50,000 Soviet-era books from East Germany, preserved by a German priest after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Stored in a barn, these books are saved from being discarded and are available to the public through a makeshift bookshop. The priest uses forgotten East German methods to maintain the books, and over a million volumes have been handled since the 1990s. The collection serves as a historical treasure, offering insights into the past and allowing people to own a piece of history through small donations.
