29 May 1975, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam — Saigon students demonstrate against “Depraved and Reactionary Culture” as part of the book burning campaign in South Vietnam. Estimated tens of thousands of books and recordings have been destroyed by student’s bonfires and private destruction since the campaign began 5/21. Virtually all bookstores have been closed down by the edict against sale of books and recordings made during the time of previous regime.
