Book:

Decline of the West

As a historian, to leave earth without a history of the world would be sinful. Spengler's history is devoid of liberal ideology or multicultural hogwash as well as any idiotic ideas of progress, making this the ideal choice for education in the process of rebuilding a strong and intelligent race from the survivors of the destroyed earth.

Painting:

The Death of Socrates by Jaques-Louis David

For the purpose of forever reminding future generations of the story of Socrates' persecution and his acceptance of law to preserve order out of respect for the polis, to instil future generations with similar ideals of law, order, and discipline, and begin the foundation of a new human society.

Film:

Triumph of the Will (Synapse version)
While not fond of the National Socialists, Triumph is unfortunately the greatest achievement in film-making history, and needs to be saved for future generations by someone who isn't a Nazi, so I'd take it. Also, the aesthetics are appropriate to the foundation of a new society, and there's nothing especially offensive in it (surprisingly, no anti-Semitism!), so it could serve a dual purpose of education in film-making and social aesthetics.

Alternatively, I'd take:


The Seventh Seal (Criterion Version)

The other great masterpiece of Western film-making; I'd want this specific version because it has the best translation and commentary. The film itself would be a necessary tool in educating subsequent generations about the nature of death and the proper way to face it.

Album:
I honestly would be willing to neglect the album and just grab the musical scores to Tannhäuser and Der Ring des Nibelungen. But if I had to pick, I'd choose:


Georg Solti and the Vienna Opera performing Tannhäuser. Wagner's art is our Civilisation's crowning achievement; it must be preserved to educate future generations in aesthetics.

Photograph:
The only personal item I'd take is the prom photo of myself and my fiancée before we were dating.

Ibre, your question is good as far as one pscyhologist can mark a person in 5 minute.....so, to answer or not?..I think......

Go solve the riddle. Don't come back until you've figured it out.

I was rather hoping he'd go into greater detail pertaining to what was meant by "mark a person". Also, the last bit is a nonsensical, incomplete thought in poor English, so I was hoping someone might enlighten me to its meaning as well. He thinks what? I'm guessing it means he doesn't want to answer because of the impression it might leave on potential amateur psychoanalysts on the board, but that's my best guess.

She ... thinks. Contemplates her answer. Or so I .... think.

None of the above. I would take a loaded gun, hijack the spaceship evacuating the few survivors & save my entire family and a few select friends.
