10 magg 1933 anni - 1933: Book burning in Nazi Germany

Descrizione:

In 1933, Nazi authorities aimed to align professional and cultural organizations with Nazi ideology and policy. Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister for Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda, began to bring German arts and culture in line with Nazi goals. The government purged cultural organizations of Jewish and other officials alleged to be politically suspect or who performed or created art works which Nazi ideologues labeled “degenerate.”
The May 1933 book burning had a precedent in nineteenth century Germany. In 1817, German student associations (Burschenschaften) demonstrating for a unified country—(Germany was then a patchwork of states)—burned anti-national and reactionary texts and literature which the students viewed as “Un-German.”
