BAD DURRHEIM, GERMANY
THE DANGER OF COLLECTIVISM
“Action against the Un-German Spirit” 1933; The Evil "PHOENIX" Rises From The Ashes Again in 2015:
"The era of extreme Jewish intellectualism is now at an end. The breakthrough of the German revolution has again cleared the way on the German path...The future German man will not just be a man of books, but a man of character. It is to this end that we want to educate you. As a young person, to already have the courage to face the pitiless glare, to overcome the fear of death, and to regain respect for death - this is the task of this young generation. And thus you do well in this midnight hour to commit to the flames the evil spirit of the past. This is a strong, great and symbolic deed - a deed which should document the following for the world to know - Here the intellectual foundation of the November Republic is sinking to the ground, but from this wreckage the phoenix of a new spirit will triumphantly rise."
—Joseph Goebbels, Speech to the students in Berlin

More than 3,000 books from a municipal library in the German town of Bad Durrheim were destroyed after they were judged to be politically incorrect.
According to Roland Tichy, chairman of the Ludwig-Erhard-Foundation and the former editor of the business news magazine Wirtschaftswoche, the purge focused on author Erich Kästner and others who used “incorrect” words such as “Negro” and “Gypsy.”
Kästner is the author of a number of popular books, including “The Flying Classroom,” “Pünktchen und Anton,” and ”Lottie and Lisa.”
He received the international Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1960 for his autobiography “Als ich ein kleiner Junge war.” He was also elected President of the PEN Center of West Germany.
According to Tichy, Kästner’s “books have landed on the funeral pyre of the infamous book burnings of the Nazis, who plundered the intellectual writings Germany to prevent any form of one’s own thinking.”
He notes that after the defeat of the Nazis, “the Young Pioneers of 18th elementary school in Berlin-Pankow (Buchholz) on the evening of the International Children’s Day 1955” burned a number of books considered unacceptable.
Tichy writes he is not certain if the books in question were burned or shredded.
The Nazi Roots of Political Correctness
According to Christopher Monckton, modern political correctness began in Nazi Germany.
“The first thing they did was to go round saying there was only one acceptable point of view. That was where Political Correctness really first was invented, as you were not allowed to have a point of view other than that of the Nazi Party,” Monckton told James Delingpole in 2014.
Monckton said a process similar to Nazi intimidation is currently underway in Europe and Britain.

People want to get re-elected, and they know that if they come out too openly against the usual suspects, then the Greens will target them – perhaps even at national level – and make it impossible for them to be re-elected… If you broadcast, they’ll try to take your advertising revenue away… This constant attack against the individual doesn’t so much hurt the individual, what it does do is frighten off anybody else from doing the same, and this comes over and over again in the pre-war papers of what was going on in Nazi Germany.

EXCERPTS:
"On April 6, 1933, the Nazi German Student Association's Main Office for Press and Propaganda proclaimed a nationwide “Action against the Un-German Spirit,” to climax in a literary purge or “cleansing” (Säuberung) by fire. In a symbolic act of ominous significance, on May 10, 1933, university students burned upwards of 25,000 volumes of “un-German” books, presaging an era of state censorship and control of culture. On the evening of May 10, in most university towns, right-wing students marched in torchlight parades “against the un-German spirit.” “No to decadence and moral corruption!” Goebbels enjoined the crowd. “Yes to decency and morality in family and state! I consign to the flames the writings of Heinrich Mann, Ernst Gläser, Erich Kästner.” Erich Kästner, Heinrich Mann, and Ernst Gläser, denigrated in Goebbels’ blistering rhetoric, represented early German literary critics of the Nazi regime."

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."

BOOKS MUST BURN AGAIN (& AGAIN):
BY ROLAND TICHY REFERRED TO IN FIRST ARTICLE ABOVE:SEE: http://www.rolandtichy.de/daili-es-sentials/buecher-brennen-wieder/
(Translated roughly from German)
Books burn again in Bad Durrheim: 3200 Books of the municipal library were destroyed. To be fair, it must be said: Whether they were just shredded or equal burned - the beyond our ken. In any case, the action was obviously surprise attack, planned and hence without the participation of the librarian before him. Library president Regina Hofmann had to quickly unlock on their 1st holiday its library, then censored employees of the Regional Council the stocks. Old guide or Unausgeliehene, or dirty books hit it, so the reasoning; Finally, it is about a "barrier-free design" of libraries, what you need space.
Wrong spelling is eradicated
In the past, Hofmann had 500 books sorted out to make room for new. But this time it probably was not about the usual and understandable update: This time the action was directed against books with "incorrect" spelling. These are those who, for example, the word "Negro" included. It also met Erich Kastner, author of such famous children's books such as "The Flying Classroom", "Pünktchen und Anton", "Lottie and Lisa". Obviously his books in Baden-Württemberg are considered provocative and contrary to the government-mandated zeitgeist of school re-education for politically correct people.
That children's books are cleaned up - this process has been running for several years. Otfried Preußler children's books-classics such as "The Little Witch", "Robber Hotzenplotz" or "Krabat" will "crawl" said publisher Klaus Willberberg from Stuttgart Thienemann Verlag; Words such as "Niggers" is deleted. The Hamburg publisher Friedrich Oetinger has antiquated words like "nigger" and Gypsy 'is deleted in all editions since 2009, because they said today "no longer meet human image and language and could be misconstrued". The Maya the Bee is gendered in the new version. But obviously the literature is also backward-adjusted; From today's perspective "wrong" books are banned from libraries.
Erich Kaestner meets it for the second time
This applies Kaestner incidentally not the first time. His books have landed on the funeral pyre of the infamous book burnings of the Nazis, who plundered the intellectual writings Germany to prevent any form of one's own thinking. But the subsequent dictatorship like saw burning literature: "Dirt and trashy literature on the pyre threw the pupils, students and the Young Pioneers of 18th elementary school in Berlin-Pankow (Buchholz) on the evening of the International Children's Day 1955. They gave thus the prelude for a wave of parents' meetings, in which a ban on the trashy and obscene literature for the territory of the German Democratic Republic and Greater Berlin is required by a law ", which is the text of the General German News Agency (ADN) of the GDR to our Post Image.
The "Wording" is crucial
Literature has just a little subversive, confused and led it to think for themselves. Compliance with the zeitgeist is the measure of all things. Historical consciousness? None, because: "Correct spelling is just important for children," says Books Verbannerin Christina Kälberer to justify such action. On the idea that literature should be discarded, not in accordance with the new spelling rules - it you have only come once. But the gate to hell is wide open right until: So also is the "wording", so the terminology, in some books out of date. Christina Kälberer calls about the word "negro", the vorkomme even in classics, reported the Südkurier. Now obviously afford the green-red political commissars in gender land a great job in the intended re-education.
Caution: irony
However, there is some good news. We can assume that the new form of book burning organic residue and CO2-neutral is going on and in a facility which is subsidized by the Renewable Energies Act. Presumably the inflammation of the books was made by means of a sun mirror and took place in a plant with energy-efficient cogeneration. This shows: The Nazis and their pyres were just a bunch of primitives and the progress breaks inexorably the train. The library of the burned books swells again powerful. If you still find older, tattered, but original editions of a double Lottie, Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver or the robber Hotzenplotz in your bookcase, so we recommend: storage, but in a place that is not immediately visible. You need not go as far as Hans Herbert Grimm, author of the 1928 published anti-war novel "Schlump": He has his manuscript immured at times of Nazis and GDR where it was rediscovered a few years ago.

ERICH KASTNER
EXCERPTS:
Kästner was a pacifist and wrote for children because of his belief in the regenerative powers of youth. He was opposed to the Nazi regime and was one of the signatories to the Urgent Call for Unity. However, unlike many other authors critical of the dictatorship, Kästner did not go into exile.
The Gestapo interrogated Kästner several times, the national writers' guild expelled him, and the Nazis burned his books as "contrary to the German spirit" during the book burnings of 10 May 1933, instigated by Joseph Goebbels. Kästner witnessed the event in person and later wrote about it. He was denied membership of the new Nazi-controlled national writers' guild, Reichsverband deutscher Schriftsteller (RDS), because of what its officials called the "culturallyBolshevist attitude in his writings prior to 1933."

Burning Books2013 marks the 80th anniversary of the rise to power of Adolf Hitler and the National Socialists in Germany. One of the most famous events of that year took place on May 10th 1933 with the public book burning of over 25,000 “un-German” books on Opernplatz in Berlin (now renamed Bebelplatz). This spotlight will examine this event and its coverage within the UL collections.At the beginning of April 1933, the German Student Association proclaimed a nationwide “action against the un-German spirit” throughout German universities. The aim was to remove undesirable professors from their posts, to blacklist “un-German” books and to purify libraries according to National Socialist principles.The campaign reached its climax on the night of May 10th 1933 when students in over 20 university towns across Germany marched in torchlight parades to public book burnings. Students threw books onto bonfires, accompanied by marching bands, songs, incantations, fire oaths, speeches and ritualised ceremonies. The highlight of the evening was the public burning of over 25,000 “un-German” books on Opernplatz in Berlin, which was carried out by students, professors in academic robes and members of the SA, SS and Hitler Youth paramilitary organisations. The event was accompanied by music from SA and SS bands, broadcast live on German radio and filmed by the weekly newsreel “Wochenschau”. At midnight, the Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, addressed a crowd of over 50,000 people and condemned works written by Jews, liberals, leftists, pacifists, foreigners and others as “un-German”. Not all book burnings took place on May 10th. Some were postponed because of rain and some took place at the Summer solstice, a traditional date for bonfire celebrations in Germany. Nevertheless, the night witnessed public book burnings in university towns across Germany and the “action against the un-German spirit” was hailed by the press as a great success.The latest research on the Nazi book burnings is currently being conducted by the Moses Mendelssohn Zentrum für europäisch-jüdische Studien in Potsdam. The UL holds two of their comprehensive publications: “Julius H. Schoeps & Werner Tress (eds.) : Verfemt und verboten, Vorgeschichte und Folgen der Bücherverbrennungen (2010)” at 571:75.c.201.68, which chronicles the history of the event and its consequences and includes a select bibliography listing some of the burnt books, and “Julius H. Schoeps & Werner Tress (eds.) : Orte der Bücherverbrennungen in Deutschland 1933 (2008)” at 571:75.c.200.392, which examines the event at a more local level throughout Germany. The UL also holds further seminal books on the Nazi book burnings, such as “Werner Tress : Wider den undeutschen Geist! Bücherverbrennung 1933 (2003)” at 571:75.c.200.222, Hans-Herbert Wintgens & Gerard Oppermann (eds.) : 1933, verbrannte Bücher, verbrannte Autoren (2006)” at 746:15.c.200.426 and “Volker Weidermann : Das Buch der verbrannten Bücher (2008)” at C205.c.9415.The librarian Wolfgang Hermann was instrumental in drawing up the blacklist of books to be burnt, which was published in Börsenblatt, the trade magazine for the German publishing industry. More than 2,500 authors were consigned to the flames. Among the famous German-speaking authors were Bertolt Brecht, Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Heinrich Heine, Franz Kafka, Karl Marx and Stefan Zweig. The list included authors such as the 1929 Nobel Prize winner Thomas Mann, targeted for his support of the Weimar Republic, and international best-selling author Erich Maria Remarque whose “All Quiet on the Western Front” was vilified as a betrayal of the martyred soldiers of the First World War. The UL holds copies of “Thomas Mann : Der Zauberberg (1924)” atCCC.35.38-39 and “Erich Maria Remarque : Im Westen nichts neues (1929)” at 748:35.d.90.607. The writings of Heinrich Mann, Ernst Glaser and Erich Kästner were particularly targeted in Goebbels’ speech, even though Mann was better known for the 1930 film “The Blue Angel” rather than his burnt book “Heinrich Mann : Das öffentliche Leben (1932)”, held by the UL atS746.d.92.10. Kästner was better known for the children’s literature classic “Erich Kästner : Emil und die Detektive (1934)” held by the UL at 748:35.d.90.1107. He was also the only blacklisted author known to be present that night at Opernplatz, who bore witness to the Nazi book burning.It wasn’t only German-speaking authors whose books were burned, but also American writers like Ernest Hemingway and Jack London, French writers like Victor Hugo and André Gide, English writers like D.H. Lawrence and H.G. Wells and Russian writers like Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The list included “Ernest Hemingway : In einem anderen Land (1931)” held by the UL at9720.d.7899 and “H.G. Wells : Die Geschichte unserer Welt (1932)” held by the UL at 9500.c.692.The year 1933 marked the beginning of a mass exodus of German writers, artists and intellectuals, who fled Nazi Germany throughout the 1930s. Thomas Mann and Bertolt Brecht fled to America, Sigmund Freud fled to England and Lion Feuchtwanger fled to France, where he was arrested and sent to a prison camp, but escaped and fled to the United States. Those writers who didn’t emigrate, like Erich Kästner, were banned from publishing their works in Germany until after the war. Life in exile is portrayed in “Christina Thurner : Der andere Ort des Erzählens, Exil und Utopie in der Literatur deutscher Emigrantinnen und Emigranten 1933-1945 (2003)” at 746:15.c.200.223 and “Daniel Azuelos (ed.) : Lion Feuchtwanger und die deutschsprachigen Emigranten in Frankreich von 1933 bis 1941 (2006)” at P701:4.c.40.79.
A memorial to the Nazi book burning, Berlin 2006The Nazi book burnings were commemorated on their 50th anniversary in 1983 with an exhibition at the Akademie der Künste in Berlin and the publication of the exhibition catalogue: “Das war ein Vorspiel nur… Bücherverbrennung Deutschland 1933. Ausstellung der Akademie der Künste vom 8. Mai bis 3. Juli 1983 (1983)” held by the UL at 9570.c.213. The 70th anniversary was likewise commemorated in 2003 with an exhibition held at the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung in Berlin and the publication of their exhibition catalogue: “Erhard Stang & Detlev Brunner (eds.) : Verbrannt, geraubt, gerettet! Bücherverbrennungen in Deutschland. Eine Ausstellung der Bibliothek der Friedrich Ebert Stiftung anlässlich des 70. Jahrestages (2003)” held at 2005.11.6. This year the book burnings have been remembered as part of Berlin’s 2013 Theme Year in an exhibition commemorating Hitler’s rise to power in 1933 entitled “Zerstörte Vielfalt”, which has been held at various memorial sites throughout Berlin.The nineteenth century German Jewish poet, Heinrich Heine, whose works were also burnt on May 10th 1933, wrote in his 1821 play “Almansor”, “Dort, wo man Bucher verbrennt, verbrennt man am Ende auch Menschen” – “Where they burn books, they will end up burning people”. This prophecy was tragically fulfilled during the Holocaust a few years later.L. Noble______________________________________________________________
