Upton Sinclair was a socialist. His political views were prominently displayed in his writing. One notable example is in the last three chapters of his book "The Jungle." The Nazis, being a conservative party, did not approve of the socialistic undertones in his books, and felt that if people were attracted to the message of socialism it would challenge the Nazis' authority.
The Nazis banned books written by Jewish authors, books that criticized the Nazi regime or promoted ideas contrary to Nazi ideology, and works that were seen as "degenerate" or immoral. They targeted books on topics such as democracy, communism, and pacifism, as well as those that promoted individualism or nonconformity.
By passing legislation to that effect.

A challenge is an attempt to remove or censor ideas or books, and is usually unsuccessful, whereas a ban is the actual removal of the materials, usually by the government.
Do you mean from what places are they banned, e.g. schools, particular countries; or do you mean which particular institutions ban books? If it is the former, an example is Salaman Rushdie, whose book "Satanic Verses" was banned in Iran by the Ayatotollah Khomeini. If it is the latter, various religious groups and also various political parties e.g the Nazis.

The only Dr. Seuss book that anyone ever tried to ban was The Lorax. They tried to ban it because the books moral was that cutting down trees was a bad thing, and that it hurts the enviroment. Some towns that had their main business as logging, tried to ban the book, but without success.
Sweeping generalizations are hard to support. In this case, it is difficult to believe that all organizations that could be included in the definition ban Huck Finn. Some groups ban books because they don't agree with what the books say, sometimes because it's what they think the books say, sometimes it's what they are told the books say, sometimes it's because they think they know what they've been told that someone else thinks the books say. A big reason is Mark Twain's use of the n-word in the book. At the time Huckleberry Finn was written, it was simply the word used to identify African Americans, and did not have the negative connotations it does today.
