Germany marks Nazi book burning era
Posted
Ceremonies are being held in Germany today to mark the 75th anniversary of the burning of thousands of books organised by the Nazis three months after Adolf Hitler came to power.
The works of eminent German language authors such as Sigmund Freud and Heinrich Heiner were destroyed in fires across Germany on May 10, 1933.
The Nazis called it a cleansing of decadent literature.
