520    The Book Smugglers is the nearly unbelievable story of 
       ghetto residents who rescued thousands of rare books and 
       manuscripts - first from the Nazis and then from the 
       Soviets - by hiding them on their bodies, burying them in 
       bunkers, and smuggling them across borders. It is a tale 
       of heroism and resistance, friendship and romance, 
       unwavering devotion to literature and art, and the 
       protagonists' readiness to risk their life for them. Based
       on Jewish, German, and Soviet documents, including diaries,
       letters, memoirs, and the author's interviews with several
       of the story's participants, The Book Smugglers chronicles
       the daring activities of a group of poets turned partisans
       and scholars turned smugglers in Vilna, "The Jerusalem of 
       Lithuania." Here is an epic story of human-scale heroism, 
       a little-known tale from the blackest days of the war
