About this title

Synopsis

"War is the enemy of man. It is also the enemy of what the latter has been able to produce of the best: Art, Culture, Monuments, all its cultural and historical heritage", Extract from the book "Commentary on the Hague Convention of May 14, 1954", by Jiri Toman. Cultural Heritage is what we received from those who came before us. Our Duty is to Protect and Conserve it, to pass it on in our turn. Our identity is the sum of our past and the result of our environment. This book is a dismal echo of the acts that vandalized the cultural landscape of Congo, during the sad events of 1993, 1997 and 1998.
