The truth about the Nazi book burnings of 1933: What books were burned?

In 1933, the Nazi regime orchestrated one of the most significant campaigns of censorship and cultural control in modern history: the book burnings. This act was not just an attack on intellectual freedom, but also a deliberate effort to shape German culture according to the interests of the Third Reich. Over 25,000 works by authors considered “enemies of the state,” including prominent figures like Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, and Karl Marx, were destroyed. These books were burned in public events, where the population was encouraged to participate, a terrifying spectacle that underscored the intellectual oppression being imposed.
