FAQ: Which books were burnt? 📚 On 10 May 1933, members of the Nazi German Student Union and their professors burnt books as part of a nationwide action “against the un-German spirit”. The books burnt were viewed as being subversive or as representing ideologies opposed to Nazism. For example, works by Jewish authors and communists like Karl Marx, as well as those by Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Heinrich Mann and Kurt Tucholsky. Books from the ransacked Institute of Sexology were also burnt. Led by Magnus Hirschfeld, the Institute published works on LGBTQ topics and transsexualism.
@@mrglass7133 no it's not. Censorship on the internet is restricting your ability to spread your views, book burning is destroying those views in their entirety, especially if the author is already dead. It's a far more heinous act
Everyone commenting about which books were burned and that is missing the point so severely it’s scary. You thinking it’s fine they were burned because they go against your views show a lack of perspective. Book burning is a tragedy because it is the destruction of knowledge. Human society entirely relies on the knowledge of their ancestors. Books should always be preserved, even if their content is later contested. You end up making the same mistakes of the past if you’re not able to read it. And clearly we are experiencing a rise in similar ideology if there are this many people who could support destruction of knowledge for their own peace of mind.
For anyone actaualy wondering those books were about Transgenderism and homosexuality research. It was a tragedy also because it sent trans studdies for 50 years back and if you call that good you concern me
Can yall stop saying " book were about homosexuality, trans etc...", And not mentioning anything else other than that. Only a small fraction of books was related to that, there were also books about politics, Jewish art, history etc. I don't like how people give credit to a small fraction of books just because it fits their agenda, making it look like those were THE ONLY books burned.

"Its library and archives of around 20,000 books and journals were publicly hauled out and burned in the street. Its collection included unique works on intersexuality, homosexuality, and transgender topics."
I remember when I was a kid I always heard people talk about Nazis burning books. I thought they burned every type of book. As if they had something against reading.
not surprising that theres a bunch of anti semitic, homophobic, and transphobic comments under a video about Jewish books being burned by nazis. This is why history is important
How many people here are offended that books were burnt. Are also completely comfortable with online censorship and people getting deplatformed? As it's the same concept in our modern age.
They burned Bambi, All Quiet om the Western Front, Kafka, the Time Machine, War of the Worlds, the Sun Also Rises, works by Marx/Engels, Lenin: The State and Revolution, White Fang, Jack London: To Build a Fire, Helen Keller: The Story of My Life, Sigmund Freud: The Ego and the Id, Thomas Mann: Death in Venice, Swan's Way etc, The Invisible Man. And on and on. People need to read the list. They think the books were all political. No, anything that might influence anyone to think on their own was considered dangerous. People think before you act!
(WARNING: I accidentally made it a Long Paragraph…sorry) A lot of people don’t understand why Nazis burning books is such a big deal. Let me give you a different perspective than just pure political importance, of what the books were about. For many people, books WERE and STILL a fictional gateway from their bad reality. In reality, they might’ve struggled with trauma, abuse, depression, or just not fitting in with society’s standards (for example: skin color, sexuality, gender, beauty, and religion). Books gave those people a space to breathe and to have hope rather than giving up and allowing their suffocating world to devour them completely. At a time like the Nazi regime, books became a type of coping necessity for many children, ESPECIALLY, Jewish children who had to hide in attics and basements. Sometimes without their parents, many times starving with no food, and always in fear of getting caught. Authors who put their minds and hearts into those books, had their work just mercilessly burned away like it meant NOTHING. Books are one of the easiest examples of free thought and escapism. Books give you a chance to see the author’s inner mind, to see a world you dreamed of having, to give you hope for a better future, or to just have pure enjoyment. Books are free thinking, free education, free expression, and freedom to DREAM. You may criticize a transgender or gay book, but that book might’ve changed someone’s life or even saved their life from making a big mistake. I’m sure even you racist, and homophobic bastards struggled through something in life, and I’m sure you had someone or something that helped you get through the pain or struggle. Life is a fucking puzzle, that takes years to understand and even when we’re close to death, we still may never understand. No one has an “advantage” just because of their ideals or beliefs. Straight people can still go through depression, just like a gay person. A black person can still go through abuse, just like a white person. Yeah, it may be different and the level of struggle is different. But at the end of the day, it’s still fucking suffocating and shitty. I’m a straight Asian girl, that almost killed myself. Just like the Rightist and Leftist, I, too, have opinions of my own, and sometimes I disagree with both sides. But I don’t let that blind me from understanding that behind all those beliefs, you are still a human that has gone through shitty things, that might’ve shaped your way of thought because of what you witnessed in life. Being a humane person isn’t some blue or red side. It’s just being a human and leveling with others when it comes to struggles that everyone can go through no matter what they believe in.
The amount of people in this comment section that agree with what the Nazis did saying shit like,” Hmm what were those books really about?” is fucking scary. Omg do you hear yourselves?

One book I know off the top of my head is “All quiet on the western front” it was written by a German who fought in WW1 and he opposed war in his book. Hitler wasn’t opposed to war to further his goals and it seemed anti German to him because he was patriotic to Germany in ww1 even if war was bad, so it was considered un-German and was burned by nazis. These books are Easily researchable and so are these events. people in this comment section are trying to stir up questions to try and act like Nazis weren’t the bad guys or that The whole thing was somehow faked.
The amount of comments here agreeing with literal nazis is insane, what the actual fuck. Not to mention the actual nazis in the comments posting some of the most blatantly antisemitic shit I've seen on the internet outside of 4chan screenshots
“They’re not mentioning what specific types of books were burnt!” Maybe because it’s not majorly important to the main point about how book burning in general is a shitty thing, and preventing the public accessibility of knowledge you disagree with is the exact opposite of based? And before you say that’s what this video is doing: you can literally look it up, and also there’s a pinned comment.
Yeah but the people commenting these things already know what books they burned. They just are asking because they think they are super smart and saying something about how it was justified because they all hate communists and LGBTQ people and love nazis. This entire comment section is just a massive troll. The video probably made the rounds on some kinda Nazi cite and they all came to spread their Nazi propaganda. :/

@@crazydragy4233 what ever dude, im an athiest. the number one thing about ww2, is near noone has the truth on what happened. its assumed they were burning science books. no they were burning down the library of this sex clinic.
Another thing for everyone who comments with „justified“ or asking about what books these were.. What happened on that night in Berlin was not just about burning some books that didnt agree with National-socialism.. it was mostly a demonstration of power to induce fear among these, who did not agree with antisemitic ideologies and the Nazi regime. They basically said: We will exterminate everything that does not agree with us. And sadly, they did. So if you comment “justified” you honestly should feel ashamed. Over 6 Million people, foremost Jews were industrially murdered. So much knowledge, legacy and culture was erased during the Nazi Regime. The burning of books symbolizes this irradiation of culture… This will never be justified. Even if you dont agree with liberalism.
For those who says those were just books:- More than 1000 years ago, there was a University like no where else in the world. Called Nalanda, this university was a flourishing centre of knowledge, and attracted students from as far as Persia, Turkey, Greece, China and Tibet. Then in 1193 AD, came a marauding army of Turks under Bakthiyar Khilji. The savages ransacked and looted Nalanda. Burned down almost half of its library, 9 Million, Books which were burning rigorously for 6 months. That day India has lost all its wealth and wisdom, price of which we are still facing today.
Since people Don't like to mention what books were burned. The bulk were from the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft or the Institute of Sexology. It was headed by Magnus Hirschfeld and had a massive library of books written about homosexuality and eroticism. He coined the term transsexualism in 1923 and conducted the first modern gender reassignment surgery. A Parisian town councilor in 1933 called it “a moral crisis” that gay people, known as “inverts” at that time, could be seen in public. “Far be it from me to want to turn to fascism,” the councilor said, “but all the same, we have to agree that in some things those regimes have sometimes done good… One day Hitler and Mussolini woke up and said, ‘Honestly, the scandal has gone on long enough’ … And … the inverts … were chased out of Germany and Italy the very next day.” The Nazi youth brigades destroyed in 1933 between 12,000 to 20,000 books and journals, including and even greater number of images and sex subjects. Books by communist writer's were also burned. Based on how fast and heavy the pro lgbt+ movement is pushing I wouldn't be surprised to see history repeat in close form soon.
Some of these comments are horrible. Idk if they are trolls or people that actually believe that this should happen. But it’s horrifying to read, that people still want to burn books.
Thank you for posting. My mother worked for OSI and also the Library of Congress for part of her career, and this subject was quite important to her. She was the person who taught me about the American Library Association's Library Bill of Rights. It's a standard I try to promote where I live, but sadly there are more than a few here who think that the best way is to control the information made available to the general public. If you don't have access to Langston Hughes, for example, you won't be reading Langston Hughes.

The amount of comments here agreeing with literal nazis is insane, what the actual fuck. Not to mention the actual nazis in the comments posting some of the most blatantly antisemitic shit I've seen on the internet outside of 4chan screenshots
We have thoroughly moderated the comments. Please tag us if you seen any extreme comments.
Umm smut, communist books, and books like we are seeing being pushed in schools. Not all book burnings are bad.
People are noticing
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
They burned porn too.
So many neo-naz!s here
“They’re not mentioning what specific types of books were burnt!”
Maybe because it’s not majorly important to the main point about how book burning in general is a shitty thing, and preventing the public accessibility of knowledge you disagree with is the exact opposite of based?
And before you say that’s what this video is doing: you can literally look it up, and also there’s a pinned comment.
Yeah but the people commenting these things already know what books they burned. They just are asking because they think they are super smart and saying something about how it was justified because they all hate communists and LGBTQ people and love nazis. This entire comment section is just a massive troll. The video probably made the rounds on some kinda Nazi cite and they all came to spread their Nazi propaganda. :/
We've been going through a quiet digital book burning atm that will be written about years from now.
Tell me more? This seems interesting
@@MrTbrown85 No. I haven't seen it and I don't know who jordan is. Is this a usa problem?
Also, the only social media I use is youtube, as the others are a waste of time
Which digital books?
Always vague with you isn't it?
Removing scenes from film too
shame those same people who've been through such oppression and genocide decided to turn around and do the very same thing to another group of people. such a shame
Which group?
Which genocide?
So true. It happened, I was personally there.
What are you mumbling about?
To our should write a book about it. Nah...actually don't, it would probably get burnt or if it was a video cancelled.
This comment section is so cursed. People really out here trying to justify the destruction of culture that preluded the genocide of millions.
what an absolute dumpster fire of a comments section
How many books we're burnt for St George in 2020?
Oh wait, they toppled statues, they burned cities, stores, people AND books as well
These kids making jokes better realize that the way neo-nazi’s are made is it starts out with jokes, and slowly, before you know it, start to believe it all.
"Wow, what an interesting video. I am now going to compare this act of terror to the fact one of my favourite content creators got their Twitter account suspended because they doxxed a 12 year old trans kid."
What about the Palestinian books, I hope that Israeli artist does something about it.
Don’t read the comments, you’ll lose braincells
What kind of books?
They burned those books viewed as being subversive or as representing ideologies opposed to Nazism. For example those of Karl Marx, Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Heinrich Mann or Kurt Tucholsky.
@Good Isreal loving Cranium Correct!
@Good Isreal loving Cranium ikr. Doesn’t sound all that bad tbh
@@dweuromaxx what about all Magnus Hirschfeld's transgender books?
@@crazydragy4233 what ever dude, im an athiest. the number one thing about ww2, is near noone has the truth on what happened. its assumed they were burning science books. no they were burning down the library of this sex clinic.
They always tell you that they burned books but not what sort of books.
Another thing for everyone who comments with „justified“ or asking about what books these were..
What happened on that night in Berlin was not just about burning some books that didnt agree with National-socialism.. it was mostly a demonstration of power to induce fear among these, who did not agree with antisemitic ideologies and the Nazi regime.
They basically said: We will exterminate everything that does not agree with us. And sadly, they did.
So if you comment “justified” you honestly should feel ashamed.
Over 6 Million people, foremost Jews were industrially murdered. So much knowledge, legacy and culture was erased during the Nazi Regime. The burning of books symbolizes this irradiation of culture…
This will never be justified. Even if you dont agree with liberalism.
For those who says those were just books:-
More than 1000 years ago, there was a University like no where else in the world. Called Nalanda, this university was a flourishing centre of knowledge, and attracted students from as far as Persia, Turkey, Greece, China and Tibet.
Then in 1193 AD, came a marauding army of Turks under Bakthiyar Khilji. The savages ransacked and looted Nalanda.
Burned down almost half of its library, 9 Million, Books which were burning rigorously for 6 months.
That day India has lost all its wealth and wisdom, price of which we are still facing today.
“Where they burn books, they will also ultimately burn people.” great quote 👍 👏 👌 sad but true
Pov:trying to find a nazi comment everyone is talking about
Since people Don't like to mention what books were burned.
The bulk were from the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft or the Institute of Sexology. It was headed by Magnus Hirschfeld and had a massive library of books written about homosexuality and eroticism. He coined the term transsexualism in 1923 and conducted the first modern gender reassignment surgery.
A Parisian town councilor in 1933 called it “a moral crisis” that gay people, known as “inverts” at that time, could be seen in public.
“Far be it from me to want to turn to fascism,” the councilor said, “but all the same, we have to agree that in some things those regimes have sometimes done good… One day Hitler and Mussolini woke up and said, ‘Honestly, the scandal has gone on long enough’ … And … the inverts … were chased out of Germany and Italy the very next day.”
The Nazi youth brigades destroyed in 1933 between 12,000 to 20,000 books and journals, including and even greater number of images and sex subjects.
Books by communist writer's were also burned.
Based on how fast and heavy the pro lgbt+ movement is pushing I wouldn't be surprised to see history repeat in close form soon.
"largest and most infamous book burning" yeah, library of Nalanda burned for several days
Or Library of Alexandria
Correct me if im wrong but does this relate to the scene in The Book Thief movie ?? Where they burn alot of books ?
The amount of people saying that some books should've been burned in this comment section is depressing
Oh yeah the people in the comments are literally the same people who complain about “cancel culture” How ironic.
Some of these comments are horrible. Idk if they are trolls or people that actually believe that this should happen. But it’s horrifying to read, that people still want to burn books.
No trolling just Magnus Hirshfeld's transgender studies
Thank you for posting. My mother worked for OSI and also the Library of Congress for part of her career, and this subject was quite important to her. She was the person who taught me about the American Library Association's Library Bill of Rights. It's a standard I try to promote where I live, but sadly there are more than a few here who think that the best way is to control the information made available to the general public.
If you don't have access to Langston Hughes, for example, you won't be reading Langston Hughes.
Riddle me this it’s quite absurd, what books did them nazis burn?
The amount of people defending the burning of books in these comments is genuinely frightening. I thought we all read Fahrenheit 451 in school, how did yall miss the mark that bad
Now cover The USS Liberty incident, and Tel Aviv
Very many cringe takes here in the comments 👍 thanks for outing yourselves
So many edgelords in this comment section lool you people are sad.
"Jewish, Communist and LIBERAL"... You can replace 'liberal' with "history, science and philosophy'... 🤦
