Book Burning
Under order of Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's Minister of Propaganda, Nazi gangs
raided the Berlin Library and gathered "un-German" books including the works
of world-class authors such as Thomas Mann, Erich Maria Remarque, Jack
London, H. G. Wells, and Emile Zola as well as those of Jewish writers. In this
photo, Germans crowd around a stall filled with confiscated books soon to be
burned.
