GERMAN CULTURE
PRESERVING ROOKS NAZIS CENSORED, LONDON, April 6. “The Library of Burned Books” is the title of an Anglo-French movement, which will probably extend to the United States, to form a collection of all works that the German Nazis have destroyed, censored or suppressed.
The collection has been undertaken in order to preserve Germany’s cultural contributions of the last three centuries.
To it will be added books, numbering 20,000, now in the possession of German refugees, and other material, consisting of 200,000 documents, newspaper cuttings, laws, letters and speeches, covering every sphere of the Nazi upheaval, at present situated in hundreds of private archives in various European countries. The Nazis’ opponents regard them as indispensable for the study- of Nazism.
