Students collecting books for the book burning
Students are collecting books for the book burning on Berlin's Opernplatz. The books are being uploaded and piled up to pyres. On May 10th 1933, undeutsches Schrifttum ('Un-German literature) was being burned in many German university towns. These macabre events were the highlight of the campaign Wider den undeutschen Geist ('Against the Un-German Spirit') after the national socialist's coming to power. The book burnings had been arranged by the German Student Association's Main Office for Press and Propaganda. Photograph. 10.5.1933
