A Nazi book-burning on 10 May 1933, at Bebelplatz, in Berlin, on Boulevard Unter den Linden directly in front of the illustrious Humboldt University, on the one side, and, on the other, the Berlin State Opera (Staatsoper Unter den Linden). Volumes by Heinrich Mann, Albert Einstein, Erich Maria Remarque, Heinrich Heine, Erich Kästner, and Karl Marx were among those destroyed. Kästner stood among the crowd, presumably unrecognized, and watched. (Wikimedia Commons public domain)
