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.

book burning is when someone actively sets the book on fire, book banning is when the book is removed from a library or school. book burning is highly symbolic but when the printing machine was invented in the 1400's book burning stopped being an effective way of destroying literature. now book banning is much more effective but is also much more easy to oppose.
