  • - [Narrator] In Kassel, Germany,

  • for a limited time only,

  • there is a replica

  • of the Greek structure,

  • The Parthenon, and it's made

  • with over 100,000 banned books.

  • (upbeat music)

  • The 'Parthenon of Books'

  • is an installation that

  • is part of The Document of 14 art show.

  • The exhibit is from

  • South American artist, Martin Minujín.

  • Her aim is to spark debate

  • about the issues of censorship in literature.

  • To achieve that, she has collected

  • over a hundred thousand copies of 170

  • different books that

  • have been banned

  • throughout the world

  • through various stages of history.

  • The books include everything

  • from Mark Twain's Adventures of Tom Sawyer

  • to Cecily von Ziegesar's Gossip Girl.

  • It is not a coincidence that The Parthenon

  • of Books is located in this German park

  • as it was here that Nazi's burned

  • over 2,000 books by Jewish or Marxist writers

  • in the early 1930s.

  • The books for this project

  • were donated by the general public.

  • And once the installation is complete,

  • they will be handed out to visitors

  • with the hope of inspiring readers

  • for years to come.

  • (upbeat music)
