mcctrish I read this in high school, grade 13 so 82/83 and I‘d probably be correct in saying it‘s haunted me all these years. I have actively thought about it ever since. That‘s a wild power for a book to hold 4mo
Eggs Excellent 👌🏼 🔥 👏🏻 4mo
Eggs This did actually happen under the reign of Hitler. seized books were burned for all to see in Berlin plaza. Books (and Jews) were claimed to be “intellectual garbage”. That is the end of liberties - to erase history, to deny thought and analysis. There is a powerful memorial now at the site. @dabbe (edited) 4mo
dabbe @JenniferEgnor Ooh, cool ... I'll have to look into it. Thanks! 🤗 4mo
dabbe @mcctrish The first year I taught it, I actually lit a book on fire (a very old well-read Harlequin paperback 😱) in front of the class, after asking them what happened at the temperature 451? I set off the fire fire alarm system in the whole school. But it was quite effective. That book “burns in me brain“ (EA Poe)--just like you. 🔥 4mo

dabbe @Eggs I'll have to research it more. Thanks! 🩵💙🩵 4mo
Bookwomble Some of the more famous (infamous!) photos of nazi book burnings are of the destruction of books relating to transgender and queer issues, which were amongst the first they targeted. Transphobia and homophobia are literally nazi ideologies. https://www.themarysue.com/what-books-did-the-nazis-burn-first-its-telling/ 4mo

dabbe @JenniferEgnor @Bookwomble ... lots of interesting things to look into ... thanks to both of you! 🤩 4mo
