KABUL — The Afghan artist, driven by memory, buried 15 paintings — all
works of modern art depicting women — in a compound three days after the
Taliban entered the capital, he said.
A well-known filmmaker carried the same fear. Before she fled the country,
she tucked away a large hard drive with more than 20 films in a secret
location.
And an aging bookseller in his tiny sidewalk shop concealed every book the
militants consider damning. They included two Bibles, translated into Dari
and Pashto.
