The fire that doesn't burn

During April and May 1933, a few weeks after coming to power in Germany, the Nazis organised public burnings of books that, according to them, harmed the destiny and essence of the German people. We organised a tribute event to the authors and books that the Nazis put on the ‘blacklist’ in 1933. More info here.
