The Nazi burning of the books in 1933 was one of the most infamous political spectacles of the twentieth century. In Berlin and all over Germany, Nazi officials and students organized elaborate parades and bonfires to mark their embrace of Hitler’s new government. Book burning has since become the symbol of any oppressive regime, and a modern taboo. As Heinrich Heine is often quoted: ‘Where one burns books, one will soon burn people’. This original and provocative new work examines the impact of these fires, concentrating on the years between the Nazi outrages and the publication of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 in 1953, a period in which book burning took hold of the popular imagination. Much more than simply the study of a single shocking event, Burning Books explores how deeply embedded the myths of book burning have become in our cultural and literary history, and illustrates the enduring appeal of a great cleansing bonfire.

'A most valuable book.'—Christian Science MonitorFor readers of The Monuments Men and The Hare with Amber Eyes, the story of the Nazis'systematic pillaging of Europe's libraries, and the small team of heroic librarians now working to return the stolen books to their rightful owners. While the Nazi party was being condemned by much of the world for burning books, they were already hard at work perpetrating an even greater literary crime. Through extensive new research that included records saved by the Monuments Men themselves—Anders Rydell tells the untold story of Nazi book theft, as he himself joins the effort to return the stolen books. When the Nazi soldiers ransacked Europe's libraries and bookshops, large and small, the books they stole were not burned. Instead, the Nazis began to compile a library of their own that they could use to wage an intellectual war on literature and history. In this secret war, the libraries of Jews, Communists, Liberal politicians, LGBT activists, Catholics, Freemasons, and many other opposition groups were appropriated for Nazi research, and used as an intellectual weapon against their owners. But when the war was over, most of the books were never returned. Instead many found their way into the public library system, where they remain to this day. Now, Rydell finds himself entrusted with one of these stolen volumes, setting out to return it to its rightful owner. It was passed to him by the small team of heroic librarians who have begun the monumental task of combing through Berlin's public libraries to identify the looted books and reunite them with the families of their original owners. For those who lost relatives in the Holocaust, these books are often the only remaining possession of their relatives they have ever held. And as Rydell travels to return the volume he was given, he shows just how much a single book can mean to those who own it.

A product of ten years of research and support from leading American and European universities, A Universal History of the Destruction of Books traces a tragic story: the smashed tablets of ancient Sumer, the widespread looting of libraries in post-war Iraq, the leveling of the Library of Alexandria, book burnings by Crusaders and Nazis, and censorship against authors past and present. With diligence and grace, Báez mounts a compelling investigation into the motives behind the destruction of books, reading man's violence against writing as a perverse anti-creation. His findings ultimately attest to the lasting power of books as the great human repository of knowledge and memory, fragile yet vital bulwarks against the intransigence and barbarity of every age.--From publisher description.

Dans la France de 1940 à 1944, une France qui est à la fois celle de l'occupant nazi et celle du régime de Vichy, les livres sont pillés. A la différence des archives des ministères (Guerre, Affaires étrangères, Intérieur, Justice) et des musées, peu de bibliothèques publiques sont l'objet du pillage par l'occupant, à l'exception des alsaciennes et des mosellanes, germanisées et propriétés du Reich. Le vol de masse, nazi mais aussi vichyste, frappe en revanche, dès juin 1940, les bibliothèques institutionnelles - juives, slaves, maçonnes - mais aussi privées, celles des premiers ennemis du Reich (les grandes familles juives, les Allemands exilés, les hommes politiques du Front populaire). Puis le pillage accompagne ordinairement les rafles. Plus de dix millions de livres prennent le chemin de l'Allemagne. Le régime de Vichy, de son côté, surveille les livres, les bibliothèques et les lecteurs, sous la houlette d'une Bibliothèque nationale devenue le parangon de l'ordre nouveau, instrument de la collaboration d'Etat aux mains de Bernard Faÿ. En regard, Martine Poulain esquisse les portraits de quelques grandes figures, notamment Jean Laran, conservateur des Estampes, administrateur de la Bibliothèque nationale lors de l'invasion et de la Libération, et Marcel Bouteron, inspecteur général, deux délicieux érudits à l'éthique infaillible, qui surent, face à la brutalité, à la bêtise et à la mesquinerie des temps, prendre le chemin juste et agir dans la droiture.
