in 1928 the tolls break. 3 penny oprah thought it. it's success story that would spread around the world. and in 1929 eric maria remarks best sell out, or why it's on the west and from it would become one of the most successful gentlemen books. women 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 schuler, and vicki bones all the same as riotous and building. female writers also were taking part in the minds of the rama 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 weren't 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, we public us. well, the democratic system was not stable. people felt cheated by the peace treaty after the 1st world war, but included high reparation payments for germany. dual street crash of 1929 likewise hit the gentleman's heart. in 1942, nearly 6000000 to them and square unemployed. nazis and communists were fighting in the straits of phil in. it was the democracy, yet with a fatal lack of democrats. all of the is next to headless wise to power

the in january 1933, hitler became german chancellor. but the nazi who was also not stable, the knots immediately started to get rid of their enemies. the no, we're going to visit a very unique. he is in the sense of full persecuted arts and zoning and in the west of too many it focuses exclusively on artists who have been victims of terra and violence. here we're going to find out whose books have been burned and what happened to the office using direct to using come cutter and to writer

a bill to such a going to introduce us to artists who were hated by the nazis the this account here in the central persecuted arts. there are display many, many also silver band until many during the nazi periods. could you just give us an overview? who was, who, who were the artists were not? well come in germany anymore. or artist who were not into so called fox command shaft. so everybody who has not to nancy opinion, was not accepted from the nazis. they declared who is in and who's out out where absolutely all the jews, the bonds are coming in. this bonds are the roots of the social democrats and all the people who were not common was not see sinking. also

so like against the actual fleet, immediately wins and nazi's and came into power. at the end of january $9033.00, he escaped in the united from his flat for the nazis said, we have to find total cause he is so a games denazi's. so we have to, we have to catch him. he was a no, that's a liberal call me on this or left wing social democrats. and he wants to do. and he was a personal 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 in germany, every citizen must think only of the nazi leader dictates every book mountain line with nazi back from the works of liberal thinkers. the writings of all the jews are, sees, been firm so thoroughly organized does not through domination of the individual.

but there is not a single job on the home of escape, the value of the in upright village in everett town and city austin roper from booths headquarters, the local party leader direct his district campaign of terror. mach victims were persecuted. this film created for us audience reenacted the terrible events that took place in too many in the spring of 1973. the next one to work as an artist, as an authorized user, sion r as in an extra you have to be member also heis good to come on. the nazis is nice clue to a come up. told all of the cultural lice and nazi germany. the nazis decided who is in that ice. come on, come on. what's not in the device, go to a couple. if you're not into that ice control, come out,

you were not allow the to work officially in the 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 blacklisted writers a display in may 1933 more than $200.00 offices were on blacklist. and find 1934, but blacklist 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 denazi's, mother and mother to many, many children. and that was it. so women have to be supportive of demand. 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 but 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 the 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 uh 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 voice in march 93rd street and she had to escape because she was detached 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 came to palestine and in 1945,

she died in jerusalem and toner, hips as person. an enemy lived as an excellent in the united states and 1939. he was bankrupt and depressed. he carried all the time slick of all presumably suitcase. and this was a moment when you decide that this is my last a possibility to be free. to make the decision to go out of this life. and this is a disaster ending, but this is the ending of ends total and it fits completely to us to this radical and consequent class. he was one of many persecuted artists who committed suicide or were killed like right to call for not yet steve 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. and the 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, earnings sayings, history has taught you nothing. if you think you can kill ideas, tyrants have tried to do that often 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. denazi's racial hygiene program was responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of disabled persons. good . ready finish this chain bookshelves are located on the ground. they controlled

around 20000 folks about as many as the nazis frontier in 1933. today this empty library as a memorial side, created by ease, really, artist, myisha omen. books are incredibly powerful. every also retiring regime fits 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. some of the time you guys grow up there won't be one book. bird ray bradbury wrote the dist tolkien novel in 1953 in spite. it's either not simple . is this past mr. trust? you're 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 that's 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 11 voted here in berlin. an indexing committee was set up under the leadership of books cunningham. i'm going to search the catalogues for so called about hostile literature and you'll find that and that's what, that's what i'm, what was the meaning of the fire as it as well. yeah, it's, 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. i'll fill you in the national socialists and also worked with this symbolism and this metaphor. i'm the not to neither tend to know if the opposite. the orchestration of the book burnings in 1943 is reminiscent of religious ceremonies. typical snouts, the events unplugged

them and 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 joseph doubles pitiless closest collide will have propaganda. so propaganda minister, joseph gunnar,

sold at the pool burnings, not as enough time. no. that was done on the part of the german student union initiative. i'm following the anti jewish boy called at 1933. they drew up a plan that they wanted to tie in directly with this action of the boy caught up the jews on the 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, the police anti semitic the seats. and so it keeps on to the musician colorado the son applicable to, to on the what do students today think about that. dylan davis studies lloyd buildings who mode university, which is located right on the side of the book burnings. i knew about the book bindings i was, and i think every one of his studies at the german high school. so i'm not aware of what happened. but, but when i started studying here took about 2 or 3 weeks until i actually realized

this is why books provide literature office fund. so that was a fast, a kind of, uh, shopping 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 90th anniversary 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 biographies of

women because they could just start to um, to work as a lawyer in the 19 twenty's 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 is the other way around. so i know that to of at least 2 of my great grandfather select nazis. i've been in the ss and i think i saw the fest have that in this past. encourage me to reflect on the nazi era and try to remember those who have been prosecuted and then to couldn't get on with that live soft about stuff like and my great grandparents. great. and my great grandfather's that. so for me, it was the familiar background was the 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 see victims to this, this, the headquarters of the cologne fall, atkins, but not the football team. falcons. the plugins are would tillman's 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. the little inch spot money 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 you 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 you're planning on the book? read like to perform a combination of reading texts of hundreds 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 of the nazis blacklist money. persecuted also as had already left germany. a. hey collins, this doesn't 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 they've disappeared completely assisting. that's an i the list name do with indexing and blacklist last name, just 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. the exact same guessing i'm fine . so that's in the snack month. on the ad for example, then the theme is as good evening whose books were also burned. here in the sam,

can you return from exile after 1945, but never reconnected as a kid to not notice that someone else to look for em. god coins with her successful novel, the artificial silk girl in my thoughts. for months she lived in germany after 1945 and so as an impoverished officer and continued to publish a book. because i know of times that they weren't in demand in a more lift advisor, because these authors had become largely a marginal and i divide in my united the best to be able to visit. then what would have happened to the nazi both for an x had not occurred to me at the bins the, the and that's and as of so if it had not been for national socialism, the game had if it had not been for the burning of books the cultural diversity and innovative spirit of germany in the 1920s would certainly have continued in thoughts on end because had the by default to that, 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. bon slips long by supplies. i'm in the event of flesh last night or in science and albert einstein who went into exile and i'm, we're social scientists like ted or don't know also left the united states so detailed was on or leaving him off any time you can start, like you were american universities and american cultural institutions, or the influx of immigrants from germany was a huge benefit as well from that in the that's what they are still reaping these benefits. and i would say that we have not yet recovered from that loss. and what it meant for germany, i'm the ones uh, beside to me, stuff would be almost taught, understand what took place to flood and soil literature, highmark, literature and that soon. and of course the national socialist kitch, completely boring stuff. and people didn't actually read it. the whole month versus a glance of when, when i'm in the medicine where they burn books, they will ultimately burn human beings as well. the. that's what the words on this memorial plaque say. well,

it's 10 by 100 kind of them and choose code of the 19th century of cause the nazis burnt his books too. not so that by instead of 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 a month. and then i will pay some, you wouldn't 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 off that 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 pastor, burned harry potter 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 to go to like i would not compare such individual actions with a historical context of major book burnings, and how many a 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 all could take him, 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 i've often politicized and expanding to using something like that could happen in too many to when we are not funding for our let's say our values in every place and then in total run a demo corrupted read because came into power is clear,

it could happen on every place. also are 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
