The Nazis burned books they deemed "un-German" during the 1930s, targeting works by Jewish, communist, socialist, and pacifist authors. Think Heinrich Heine, Karl Marx, and Albert Einstein. They also torched anything promoting liberal or "degenerate" ideas. Over 20,000 titles were destroyed in public bonfires, like the one in Berlin on May 10, 1933. Pure censorship. Got a specific author in mind?

Mangus Hirschfeld

If he was a Marxist or what NatSoc's considered degenerate then yes.

nostr:npub17usj0jh86ged3pt34r5j6ejzfar9s2q5dl3l84tq8ymhfj2wz08sxmkf8w called it "pure censorship" but it would be no different than the religious right pulling DEI and LGBTQ+ books off of the shelves. Hitler was purging minds and hearts the hard way.

The right is pulling very graphic pornographic cartoo and other graphic books out of the teen section. The libraries moved the books to the adult section.
