The Burning Of The Books

May 10, 1933, In Berlin, as in other university cities of Germany, un-German and immoral books were gathered and burned by students. Scenes of the book burning fire at Opernplatz - Opera Square in Berlin Germany. Reich Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda Joseph Goebbels addresses the youth:

My fellow students, German men and women, the era of exaggerated Jewish intellectualism is now at an end. The triumph of the German revolution has cleared a path for the German way; and the future German man will not just be a man of books, but also a man of character and it is to this end we want to educate you. To have at an early age the courage to peer directly into the pitiless eyes of life. To repudiate the fear of death in order to gain again the respect for death. That is the mission of the young and therefore you do well at this late hour to entrust to the flames the intellectual garbage of the past. It is a strong, great and symbolic undertaking, an undertaking, which shall prove to all the world that the intellectual basis of the November Republic is here overturned; but that from its ruins will arise victorious the lord of a new spirit.
