right here they burned books off in the old days. Literature and other works that

                   didn’t suit the time”
                   He points to what is usually the lawn in front of the building that houses the

                   state's antique collection of art a beautiful giant building built in neoclassical

                   building style. Claire laughs sarcastically, and adds
                          “Yes, a bunch of idiots. They thought it was unsuitable. Think I did not

                   know that this is where they burned the books.”

                          "Yes, it was here, but they did it in several places. Foolishness on full
                   display. Can you see the parallelity to the situation we are in?"

                          “How so?” She answers and releases his hand to press the button on the
                   light signal before crossing the road that leads them to the other side of the

                   square. Gustav lets his hands fall down to the side and sends a long glance over

                   the square, before continuing with a sigh.
                   "It sounds far-fetched, but it's actually a bit like my situation with paintings and

                   art collection. I feel like they are an object of interest, they have an interest in

                   obtaining or possibly destroying it. I feel hunted. It is exactly like the books, even
                   the books that were kept, were locked in basements for no one to read… sad!”

                   “Yes, I understand.” she says compassionately, before changing her tone
                   completely  “But let’s have some fun before your art collection is out of the long

                   fingers of the German state.”

                   He nods appreciatively and says eagerly.
                   "I'm really looking forward to seeing Joseph Beuys’ exhibition, it's the perfect di-

                   version. You're simply brilliant at finding out what we should do, especially on a

                   day like this.”
                   "I do not know much about him as a person, but his writings is what I have fallen

                   for. I look forward to seeing it with you,” she answers.

                   Out in front of the art museum, Lenbachhaus, the characteristic yellow lamps
                   have been lit, the glow of the lamps can barely be felt as it is still bright but in an

                   hour when the sun disappears guests will be able to enjoy it already lit when

                   they leave a bit later and it has become dark they will be able to enjoy the yellow
                   surreal glow the lamps will throw out in the square in front. The art gallery's

                   building is an impressive work in itself consisting of two parts, an old neoclassi-
