To the hollow coast. And finally the destruction of Central Europe and the 2nd world war. In this video, we will find out why the nazis and others for an folks. And we will show how the nazi book for any pace to wait for the killing of millions of suits on the Joseph Douglas headless minister for propaganda. Spoke of the debris of the past that had to be what did you mean by that . That settled back to to me during the 1920 in the golden twentys building was the 3rd largest city in the world. And may be the most exciting cultural metropolis. The german Film Industry was driving and i to 27. 00 foot slice of the metropolis storm, the flux surfaces. In 1928, the 12 brake, 3 penny, oprah thought it its Success Story that would spread around the world. And in 1929, eric maria remarks best sell out old, quite a to on the west and from would become one of the most successful gentlemen winning swells were also changing in the weimer republic, the 1st term and democracy women were allowed to vote. And to choose their own profession. And son were extremely successful. Like him got claimed as the scot, sheila, antique, the bones, all the same as riotous in building. Female writers also were taking part in the minds of the roman republic. They have the same discussions on the important issues of the time on the idea of a new liberal society like v, i must proceed in the Weimar Republic was not only kind of a political movement, but also we can see that in the different fields of arts especially in writing, they were starting to find new ways to express ideas, but also to yeah, to experience this different styles. But there was the dark side to the why my way public as well. The democratic system was not stable. People felt cheated by the peace treaty after the 1st world war, but include a, ty, reservation payments for germany. The dual street crash of 1929. Likewise hit the gentlemans heart in 1972, nearly 6000000 to them and square unemployed. Not cease and communists were fighting in the straits of phil in. It was the democracy yet with a frightful like a stomach. But all of this lets to hitlers rise to power the in january 1933, hitler became german chancellor. But the nazi room was also not stable. The knots immediately started to get rid of their enemies. The. Now were going to visit a very unique he is in the center full, persecuted, arts and zoning. And in the west of too many, it focuses exclusively on artist who has been victims of terra and violence. Here were going to find out whose books have been burned and what happened to the office the using direct to using come cutter and to writer a bill to such a going to introduce as to artist silver hate to by the nazis the this account here in the center for persecuted arts. Um there are displayed many, many also silver band and too many during the nazi period. Could you just give us an overview . Who was, who, who were the artist or not . Well, come and do many anymore. On artist were not into so called fox come on track. So everybody who has not send that seal opinion was not accepted from the nazis. They declared who is in and whos out out where absolutely all the jews the on to come you in this positive roots on the social democrats and all the people who are not common was, is not c sinking also slack 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 or 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 to all i had really killed hit to there is a pied piper and one of the dangerous, a fried wing radicals. Because today in german, i, every citizen must think only of the nazi leader dictates every book, not in line with nazi dot, from the works of liberal thinkers. The writings of all jews are, sees, been firm so thoroughly organized does not say domination of the individual. But there is not a single done on the home of escape. So bengal in every village in everett town and city are storm roper from booth headquarters. The local party leader directed 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 it was an artist as a musician r s. And an extra us to be member of. Suffice. Good to come. The nazis is nice clue to a come up. Told all of the cultural lights and nazi germany. Denazis decided who is in that ice. Come on, control, come on. Whats not in the device split to come. If youre not into an ice control, come out, youre not allow the to work officially in to dodge size. As an artist, the cultural elite of the why more republic was out. So you could not publish. It could not go into a stage on a theater. You cannot walk in the movie, you could not be ex image and then use the are in the gallery or something us. The, in the showcase this works and documented select listed writers. A display in may 1933 more than 200. Also those 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 rights, 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 fact, no, of course not enough to shoot up was the gym and jewish poets and play right. A leading seaman artist of german expressionist 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 ideas of yeah, the liberty of, of empowerment. But also she was, was kind of a queer access, even though she was like, she was not a queer person, but she was performing gender and she was courageous and a place she that extra say these Proof Projects lines the counselors, many, many of those programs and they canceled her, her play out with all the most. So that was in march 93rd street. 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 in switzerland and from then she travels a bit and then she came to palestine and and 1945. She died in jerusalem 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 of 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 artist who committed suicide or were killed like right. A call for not yet see who died and not see arrest or eric lose them 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 isabel, 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 in there might and 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. Good. 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. Of 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 1933. And 11 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 you give us otherwise ill fill you in. The National Socialists also worked with this symbolism and this metaphor im the not to neither tend, its not 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 and like menton propaganda headed by joness goals, hitlers 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 they drew up a plan that they wanted to tie in directly with this action of the boy called of 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 a car with 12 deeply anti semitic dfcs, and so keeps on dizzy musician 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 provide literature ill spend. So that was at 1st, a kind of shocking experience. We con, 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 90 s 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 me to see the power piece 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 are very move by 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 fest have that this past encourage me to reflect on the nazi era and try to remember those who have been prosecuted and then to couldnt get on with that live. So i have to watch just like a my great grandparents grand. Margaret con, taught us that. 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 and the west of to many, some of the young people are researching, not c victims to. This is the headquarter of the cologne follicle, but not the football team. Falcons. The falklands are a tube and 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 of all their project on book burnings. Zip as each month, month is 20 years old and belongs to a project group that is preparing a remembrance event in cologne. Which was this project is that we remember our says, 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 active search with you that was destroyed like passions and in addition to jews, socialists and communists with the main enemies of the nazis. Many of them had to flee to 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. The text of converts of this time and the treating the reading of the text. We sing songs that are important for the fine. 1934 more than 3500 books were on the nazis blacklist. Many persecuted, also as had already left germany. A. Hey collins, this doesnt like what was it like an everyday life is didnt people read the black list of books and the way what symbolism, in pre lots of like in the private arena, these books were still found on people shelves. But of course, people were cautious when visitors came calling i would provide the preferred to hide them away, but people continue to read them privately and people take and public libraries. Theyve disappeared completely assisting. Thats when i go to listen to him. Do with indexing and blacklist spots. And the nazi succeeded in making these books no longer accessible or available in bookstores underneath me quite a bit. So they actually succeeded in making a large part of these authors i made into oblivion. I think that i sent, i guess im im, 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. I 50 reading this. Im. Can you return from exile after 1945 but never reconnected . It cant the not nonsense. Someone else to look. Osborne em god coin went through successful novel, the artificial silk girl. You my thoughts for mine . She lived in germany after 1945. And so as an impoverished officer and continued to publish a book, because i know the times that they werent in demand didnt more lift. You advise that . Because of these authors had become largely marginal or divide seen by united the best to be able to visit. Then what, what has happened to the nazi before and it had not occurred to me that the vince did not soon as i said, if it had not been for National Socialism scheme had, if it had not been for the burning of books. The Cultural Diversity and innovated spirit of germany in the 1920s would certainly have continued in thoughts on end because had the by default to this, them on look to the United States. I saw the hollywood to the actors and directors who worked their house quits long. For example, an immigrant from germany on slips long by 659 immigrants or flesh that night or in science in Albert Einstein who went into exile. But im our social scientists like to do, i dont know. Also left the United States a detailed lodge on or given him off, and you fine, you can start taking your american universities in american cultural institutions. On the influx of immigrants from germany was a huge benefit. Thats what it all from that. And maybe thats what they are still reaping these benefits. And i would say that we have not yet recovered from that loss. Excellent. And what it meant for germany, im going uh, beside the list of who it, you almost had understanding what took a good place to flood and soil literature highmark literature not to not. And of course, National Socialist kitch, completely boring stuff. And people didnt actually read it, it is hold on for just a glance of when, when im in the medicine where they burn books, they will ultimately burn human beings as well. That is 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 know it. So that by and 1933, the nazis burned books in 1938, the synagogues were burned. And in 194243 during the show of 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 that were burned and she laid 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 password for the entire report and twilight volumes. Why that some of the discussions about banning books from School Libraries in florida. What do you think them to taking and sorry, the, the thing is, if you can go to like it, i would not compare such individual actions with the Historical Context of major book burnings, and how many i here 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 all could take him, which of course should be condemned. Reading these or actions by individuals or groups extend this thing, but they are not actions backed by public authorities and board Police Agency was released from britain because the rotten wood ive often police highest in tech sentence using Something Like that could happen in too many to when we are not fighting for our lets say our values in every place, then in total and a demo credit read because came into power is clear, it could happen on every place also, or also in germany. What can each and every one of us do to prevent that standard . And yes, Say Something have the courage to Say Something the a model of technology, human kinds, most valuable machines.
