Remembrance of April 6, 1941 and the National Library of Serbia

The first air attack on Belgrade took place on April 6, 1941 at around six hours and 50 minutes in the morning.

In the third airstrike, around 3:30 p.m., Kosančić's Wreath area was bombed, when the building of the National Library of Serbia was hit by an incendiary shell.

In such a devastating fire that lasted for three days, the National Library burned to the ground, and the fire consumed the entire national fund forever.
