Brooks, Geraldine. People of the Book (New York: Viking, c2008) 372 p.
Doctor Ozren Karaman is "chief librarian of the National Museum and professor of librarianship at the National University of Bosnia" (p. 16). He saves a beautiful illuminated haggadah from the library as it is being bombed during the siege of Sarajevo in 1992. He is a thin young man in faded blue jeans with green eyes and unruly curls. He is sad about all the books he could not save which were destroyed.
