Hit the gentlemans heart in 1932, nearly 6000000 to them and square unemployed. Nazis and come in this fighting and the streets of phil in it was the democracy. Yet with a fatal lack of democrats. All of this lots to hitlers rise to power. In january 1933, hitler became german chancellor. But the nazi who was also not stables, the knots immediately started to get rid of their enemies. The.

They declared who is in and whos out out where absolutely all the jews the on to come you this pause of the roots of the social democrats and all the people who were not common was not see sinking. Also like against the actual fleet, immediately lens and nazis and came into power at the end of january 90. So 23. 00, he escaped in the united from his flat for the nazis said we have to find total cause he is. So a games denazis. So we have to, we have to catch him. He was a no, thats a liberal call me on this are left wing social democrats and he wants to do and he was a person the enemy of how do i fit in his play will turn on change from 1923 told i had really killed hit to the rest of pied piper and one of the dangerous a fried wing radicals. Because today im done and i, every citizen must think only of the nazi leader dictates. Every book, not in line, would not say that from the work. So the liberal thinkers, the writings of all jews, are, sees confirmed so thoroughly organized does not say domination of the individual. But that is not a single job on the home of escape per bedroom. In every village in everett town and city are Storm Trooper from booths headquarters, the local party leader direct his District Campaign of the box victims were persecuted and this film created for us audience re enacted the terrible events that took place into him. And he, in the spring of 1973, the next one to work as an artist, as an also. So because an artist as a user, sion r s. And an extra us to be member of. Suffice. Good to come on. The nazis nice clue to a come up. Told all of the cultural lights in nazi germany. Denazis decided who is in that ice. Come on, control, come on. Whats not in the device split to come.

This works and documents will select listed writers a display in may 1933 more than 200 also were on blacklist and find 1974. The black list included more than 3500. 00 words. The nazis tried to erase the memory of a whole generation of german rights, and among them were many women who had just started to gain political equality and career opportunities. Now the tide had turned what was the i do women in the eyes of denazis, mother and mother to many, many children. And that was it. So women have to be supportive of the men. And the idea of the right, which was yes, reading german children. All over a big in germany and women like as an special ed did not at all fit in that picture. No, of course not enough to shoot up was the gym and jewish poets and play right. A leading seaman artist of german expressionists and a definitely personality. She was divorced twice she had a son, was not born in one of her marriages, but she was very individualistic. She was very independent and, and of course, she took her agency. She took the room, she really spread the id is off. Yeah, liberty of, of empowerment. But also she was, was kind of a queer artist, even though she was like, she was not a queer person, but she was performing gender and she was courageous and a place she led extra say, these Proof Projects lines the counselors, many, many of those programs and they canceled her, her play, i took all the most. So that was in march 1933. And she had to escape because she was attacked by members of the as in the streets in berlin. What happened to is alaska, sheila, after she had to leave germany, she 1st went to switzerland and from then she travels a bit and then she yeah, okay. 2 pedals time and and 1945. She died and reversal that toner, hips as person an enemy lived as an exxon in the United States. And 1939. He was bankrupt and depressed. He carried all the time slick at of all, presumably suitcase. And this was a moment when you can decide that this is my last a possibility to be free to make the decision to go out of this size. And this is a disaster ending, but this is the ending of ends total and it fits completely to us to this red color and consequent class. He was one of many persecuted artists who committed suicide or were killed like right. A call for not yet soon died and nazi arrest or eric lose um, who was killed in a concentration come. What was happening in germany was no secret. On may 10th 1933 more than 100000 people protested in u. S. Cities against hitler. American books, by the way, web burned on this day to like works by optim, saint clair and Ernest Hemingway a us National Icon reacted as well. The deaf blind while i to helen keller, she wrote an open letter to the nazi organize us of the book, burning, saying, history has taught you nothing. If you think you can kill ideas, tyrants have tried to do that also before. And the ideas have risen up and they might end destroy them actually being born under nazi who she might not even have survive childhood denazis racial Hygiene Program was responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of disabled persons. Ready the. Ready finish this chain book shelves are located on the ground. They controlled around 20000 folks about as many as the nazis frontier in 1933. Today this empty library, as the memorial side created by is really artist myisha omen. Books are incredibly powerful. Every also retiree and regime sees them. And no story proves that better than this one. Now, if any of you guys ever seen one of these bad things for real we burned almost every physical book in the country. About the time you guys grow up, there wont be one book. Bird ray bradbury wrote the dist tokyo novel in 1953 in spite. Its either not simple, especially the 6 past mr. Trust. Youre an expert on the subject of the book or any language. Why did the nazis actually burn books . They could have just found them by the time and by then they did both of them. But i know thats when the book burning took place here in berlin and many other places in germany. The book bands had already begun for the things i knew that these are the herds of libraries had begun in february, march 19, 33, and 1. 1 board is here in berlin, and indexing committee was set up under the leadership of books cunningham. Im going to search the catalogues for so called about hostile literature and youll find that and thats what, thats what im, what was the meaning of the fire as it as play . Yeah, its, yeah, fire is traditionally a simple that stands not only for destruction but also in a certain way for read you the nation on can give us otherwise. Ill fill you in the National Socialists and also worked with this symbolism and this metaphor. Im the not to neither tend to know if the opposite. The orchestration of the book burnings in 1933 is reminiscent of religious ceremonies. Typical snouts, events i left word mother had it unplugged german radio listeners could follow the report life. The radio was one of the most important propaganda tools of the nazi regime and propaganda was used to both intimidate and entertain. With one goal in mind, total control, one of the people what type of art and literature was permitted was decided by the so called dwight ministry of public enlightenment and propaganda headed by joness goals, hit loose, closest acolyte, will have propaganda. So propaganda minister, joseph gunnar, sold as a book burnings, not as a desktop. No, that was done on the part of the german student unions. Initiative you in modeling the anti jewish boy caught in 1933 when im they drew up a plan that they wanted to tie in directly with this action of the boy called up the jews. And they set up their own campaign which was called action against the and german spirit that started on april 13th with the dissemination of the poster against the german spirit. He owned cots with 12 deeply anti semitic vcs, and so keeps on his invitation. Colorado then applicable to, to on the what do students today think about that . Dylan davis studies, lloyd buildings, homebound university, which is located right on the side of the book burnings. I knew about the book bindings. I was, i think, every one of his studies at the german high school. So im not aware of what happened. But, but when i started studying here, it took about 2 or 3 weeks until i actually realized this is why books by literature of respond. So that was a fast kind of uh, shopping experience. We comp forgotten about the book bindings. Why not random events started by the nazis. They were organized by students of the faculty of law. They were supported by professors of this faculty. And that part of history is not being addressed within building on the location of the ninetys and reverse 3 of the book burnings. Dylan and others want to make this small visible. They are putting together a special exhibition with biographies of people who were forced to leave the university. I think for me it was touching to see the virus of women because they could just start to um, to work as a lawyer in the 19 twentys 22. And just like after 10 years or something it was over. I can see that you all of the remove of the topics. Do you probably have any family background like jewish ancestors who had to leave university . I think for me its the other way around. So i know that to at least 2 of my great grandfather select nazis. I have been in the ss, and i think i saw the best i have that this past encourage me to reflect and not sit around and try to remember those that have been prosecute and then to couldnt lift. Get on with that live soft whats just like a my great grandparents grand margaret grandfather did. So for me, it was the familiar background was a motivation to get into the topic, but just the other way around in the city of cologne, in the west of to many, some of the young people are researching, not see victims to this is the headquarters of the cologne fall, atkins, but not the football team. Falcons. The plugins are would tillmans socialist Youth Organization with the history of more than a century. During the nazi regime, the follicles have been prohibited and persecuted. Some fall can members are going to tell us more about it, and about their project on book burnings a little in spot one is 20 years old and belongs to a project group that is preparing a remembrance event in cologne. Which with this project is that we remember our asses our past and the the statues of our organization, but also to tell the story about a fight against terrorism. And but also a culture of the active socialist use that was destroyed like in addition to jews, socialists and communists were the main enemies of the nazis. Many of them had to flee, too many were breasted, or even killed several. And can you tell me a little bit about the codes that youre planning on the book . Read like to perform a combination of reading texts of converts of this time and the treating the reading of the text. We sing songs that are important for the fine 9034 more than 3500 books. Where one of the nazis blacklist money, persecuted also has had already left germany a. Hey collins, this doesnt like what was it like an everyday life is the people who reads the black list of books and the way what symbolism and provide like in the private arena. These books were still found on people shelves, but of course, paperwork cautious when visitors came calling on the p lot. They preferred to hide them away, but people continue to read them privately. Can people take and Public Libraries theyve disappeared completely assisting. Thats an either to listen to him do with indexing and blacklist lot and the nazi succeeded in making these books no longer accessible or available in bookstores underneath quite a bit. So they actually succeeded in making a large part of these authors date into oblivion. Executive guessing, im fine. So thats in the snack month. On the ad, for example. Then the famous us good evening whose books were also burned here in the sam. Can you return from exile after 1945 but never reconnected . It cant the knock notice that someone else to look for em, god coined with her successful novel, the artificial silk girl, fox, vermont. She lived in germany after 1945 and so as an impoverished officer, and continued to publish a book, which i know of times that they werent in demand in a more lift advisor because these authors had become largely marginal and i divide in like united the best to be able to v, as in what has happened to the nazi both for an x had not occurred to me. Vince, the, the, and thats a mazda. So if it had not been for National Socialism to begin, if it had not been for the burning of books, the Cultural Diversity and innovated spirit of germany, of the 1920s would certainly have continued in thoughts on end because had the plotted its them on look to the United States, i saw the hollywood to the actors and directors who worked their house below quits long. For example, an immigrant from germany. Bon flips, lung by supplies. Im in the event of flesh last night or in science in Albert Einstein who went into exxon about im or social scientists like ted or dont know also left the United States so detailed to as on or even him off in the fine. You can start, like you were american universities and american cultural institutions, or the influx of immigrants from germany was a huge benefit. Thats what it all from that in the thats what they are still reaping these benefits pnc before. And i would say that we have not yet recovered from that loss and what it meant for germany, im the ones uh, beside to me stuff would be almost tied on. You said what took place. Its a lot to flood and soil literature highmark literature. And thats who, 9 of course, National Socialist kitch, completely boring stuff. And people didnt actually read it the whole month versus a glance of when, when im and the mention was a burn books, they will ultimately burn human beings as well. The thats what the words on this memorial plaque say. Well its 10 by 100 kind of a gentleman. Choose code of the 19th century of cause the nazis for and his folks to not so that by and 1933 the nazis burned books in 1938. The synagogues were burned in 1942, 43 during the show up to get the genocide of the European Jewish people were very much and then i will pay some you wouldnt find, mention the nazis did not invent book burnings over the course of christianity. Those books and people were burned, and she li, books burned after puts in 1973, and in 2022 and the us books were also burned away. When you hear about the book burnings in tennessee, in 2022, a passport during terry potter and twilight volumes. Why . Thats all the discussions about banning books from School Libraries in florida. What do you think them to taking . And sorry, the 1st thing you can go to, like i would not compare such individual actions with the Historical Context of major book burnings. How many i yeah, on may 10th alone, books were burned in 22 places in germany upon these actions of which you speak. There was also a burning of the koran in sweden by right wing extremists that one could seeking which of course should be condemned. Reading, these are actions by individuals or groups, explain this thing, but they are not actions fact by public authorities and board Police Agency was at least for reading they can provide and what ive often police highest and then do using Something Like that could happen in too many to when we on our funding for our lets say our values in every place, then in total run, a non demo credit ready cause came into power is clear, it could happen on every plays also, or also in germany. What kept each and every one of us do to prevent that standard.
