postcard commemorating Nazi takeover of Germany - Jan 30, 1933. (From Quantity Postcards, San Francisco)
May 10, 1933 - An event unseen since the Middle Ages occurs as German
students from universities formerly regarded as among the finest in the
world, gather in Berlin and other German cities to burn books with "unGerman"
ideas. Books by Freud, Einstein, Thomas Mann, Jack London, H.G. Wells and
many others go up in flames as they give the Nazi salute.
