The public Nazi book-burnings took place in May 1933. The books in question were those written by authors that the Nazis hated on ideological and racial grounds, especially those who wrote in German. Authors whose books were burnt included:

  • Heinrich Heine
  • Franz Kafka
  • Heinrich Mann
  • Robert Musil
  • Kurt Tucholsky
  • Alfred Kerr
  • Erich Mühsam
  • Ernst Toller
  • Sigmund Freud
  • Karl Marx
  • Friedrich Engels
  • Rosa Luxemburg



The Nazis first burnt all writings pleading for the decriminalization of homosexual acts between consenting adults ...

Ironically, Heine (whose works were burnt) had written in 1821: 'Dies war ein Vorspiel nur, dort, wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen' - 'This was only a prologue: there, where they burn books, they end up burning himan beings'.

Why did Hitler burn books?

The Nazi book burning happened because Germany wanted to cleanse the country of writings that were viewed as subversive and undermined the National Socialist administration. There were about 25,000 volumes of un-German books that were burned, such as American and Jewish novels.

Why did they do the book burning of 1933?

Hitler and the Nazis were beginning their campaign of demonizing anyone they disagreed with. This meant Jews, as well as intellectuals and political dissenters. The book burning was designed to stir up outrage against "dangerous" or "unpatriotic" books, as well as against the people who wrote such books. (It should be noted that none of the books were really dangerous, except perhaps to people like Hitler; but for Nazi ideas to dominate, the Fuehrer and his propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels needed to persuade the public that certain books deserved to be burned. This event and others like it seem to have succeeded.) Most dictatorships, Hitler's included, start by controlling public opinion and making sure the average person only reads or sees information that reinforces the dictator's core message. Hitler used events such as the book burning to begin a process of persecuting Jews and intellectuals, and persuading the public that supposedly anti-German ideas would not be tolerated.
