Nazis Censored Books
The Nazi youth and student organizations were on the prowl in this disturbing piece of Nazi propaganda. In 1933 the Nazi youth compiled a list of books they believed went against the teaching of their party. In a public demonstration, they took those books from a local library and burned them. The books were “un-German” and the burnings happened in a ceremonial fashion. This poster depicts that event and reminds the German people that they must put the values of the Nazi party ahead of the ramblings of authors from around the world and even those who were local but whose principles didn’t agree with Hitler’s own views.
