Ninety-two years ago today, on May 10, 1933 (April 16, 1933), the Nazis burned banned books. On the evening of May 10, 1933, a huge bonfire was lit in front of the University of Berlin. It was not logs, nor kerosene, but books, which the Nazis had designated as "non-Germanic". Yesterday, in Munich, thousands of students watched the burning of books considered Marxist. "When you see the burning of books that are not Germanic," the Nazis taught the children, "you will also burn in your hearts the love of your fatherland." Book burning is just one part of a recent draconian campaign by the Nazis against German intellectuals, scientists and cultural leaders, including the writer Thomas Mann, the philosopher Tillich and the Nobel laureates Hertz and Frank, who were dismissed from universities and cultural organizations. The school curriculum was revised to include "Ethnography." "Schools must constantly emphasize," said Frick, the Nazi interior minister, "that the blood of foreigners, especially Jews and blacks, must not be allowed to enter the blood of Germans."
