This is an audio slideshow narrated by Malik al-Rifaii and Abdul Basit Al-Ahmar, both founding members of Syria’s Secret Library in Daraya, Syria. The photos you see were taken by members of Daraya Council’s media team during the town’s dreadful four-year long siege by Syrian Government forces. Throughout this time those who built the extraordinary secret library were starved, bombed, shelled and shot at by snipers, day after day. It didn’t stop them. All is to be found in the book, Syria’s Secret Library available to purchase here
