of course, you know, i would, i would take our pharmaceutical business as an example, you know, in medicines i would say the level of competition is very high. and i've, i feel like, you know, for the most part it's a level playing field. phil anderson, thank you so much for speaking to us today. my pleasure. k. the sermon 90 years ago on the 10th of may 1933 terms, students through tens of thousands of folks into a huge on fire right here, where i'm standing in the center fill in in the that me next week. it's been about an hour and that was just the beginning from hitler's rise to power

to the hollow coast. and finally the destruction of central europe and the 2nd world war. in this video, we will find out why the nazis and others for an folks. and we will show how the nazi book for any pace to wait for the killing of millions of people. the joseph douglas, hitler's minister for propaganda, spoke of the debris of the past that had to be sorry. what did you mean by that? that's settled back to germany during the 1920 in the golden twenty's building was the 3rd largest city in the world and may be the most exciting cultural metropolis. the german film industry was driving and 1927 foot length

movie metropolis storm. the fox offices in 1928 the tools break. 3 penny, oprah started its success story that would spread around the world. and in 1929 eric maria remarks best sell out old point. the west upfront would become one of the most successful gentlemen winning swells were also changing in the weimer republic, the 1st term and democracy women were allowed to vote and to choose their own profession. and some people are extremely successful. like him got claimed as the scot, sheila, tennessee, the bones, all the same as riotous and building female writers also were taking part in the months of the rama republic they have the same discussions on the important issues of the time on the idea of a new liberal society like v,

i must proceed in the weimar republic was not only kind of a political movement, but also we can see that in the different fields of arts, especially in writing. they were starting to find new ways to express ideas, but also to yeah, to experience this different styles. but there was a dark side to the why my way public as well as the democratic system was not stable. people felt cheated by the peace treaty after the 1st world war, but include a, ty, reservation payments for germany. the door street crash off 1929. likewise. hit the gentleman's heart in 1972, nearly 6000000 to him and square unemployed. nazis and communists were fighting in the straits of phil in it was the democracy, yet with a frightful like of democrats. all of this match to hitler's rise to power.

the in january 1933, hitler became german chancellor the but the nazi room was also not stable. the knots immediately started to get rid of their enemies. the . now we're going to visit a very unique, he is in the center, full, persecuted, arts and zoning. and in the west of too many it focuses exclusively on artists who have been victims of terra and violence. here we're going to find out whose books have been burned and what happened to the office using direct to

using comb, cutter and to writer a bill to such a going to introduce us to artist silver hate to by the nazis the this account here in the center for persecuted arts. um there are displayed many, many also silver band and too many during the nazi period. could you just give us an overview? who was, who, who were the artist or not? well, come and do many anymore. on artist we're not into so called fox combined shaft. so everybody who has knots in that seo opinion was not accepted from the nazis. they declared who is in and who's out out where absolutely all the jews the on to come you this pause of the roots of the social democrats and all of the people who are not common,

which is not c sinking also. so like against the actual fleet immediately wins and nazis and came into power. at the end of january 90 searches we he escaped in the united from his flat for the nazis said we have to find total cause he is. so a games denazi's. so we have to, we have to catch him. he was a no, that's a liberal call me on this or left wing social democrats. and he wants to do and he was a person the enemy of how do i fit in his play? well, town on change from 1923 to all i had really killed hit to there is a pied piper. and one of the dangerous a fried wing radicals. because today in germany, every citizen must think only of the nazi leader dictates. every book, not in line with nazi back from the work. so the liberal thinkers, the writings of all jews are, sees,

been firm so thoroughly organized does not say domination of the individual. but that is not a single job on the home of escape. so bedroom, the in upper advantage in everett town and city are storm appropriate from boost headquarters. the local party leader direct his district campaign of deborah mach victims. but persecuting this film created for us audience re enacted the terrible events that took place into many in the spring of 1973. the next one to work as an artist, as an also. so it was an artist as a musician r s, and an extra us to be member of. suffice. good to come. the nazis is nice clue to a come up. told all of the cultural lights in nazi germany. denazi's decided who is in that ice. come on, control, come on, what's not in the device split to come on. if you're not into an ice crew to come

out, you're not to allow it to work officially in to dodge size. as an artist, the cultural elite of the why more republic was out. so you could not publish, you could not go into a stage on a theater. you cannot walk in the movie. you could not be ex image and then use you are in the gallery or something. us the in the showcase this works and duction mental select listed writers. a display in may 1933 more than 200. also this were on blacklist and find 1974, but blacklist included more than 3500 words. the nazis tried to erase the memory of a whole generation of german rights. and among them were many women who had just

started to gain political equality and career opportunities. now the tide had turned what was the i do women in the eyes of denazi's, mother and mother to many, many children. and that was it. so women have to be supportive of the men and the idea of the right, which was yes, reading german children all over a big in germany. and women like as an special ed did not at all fit in that but no of course not enough to shoot up was the gym and jewish poets and play right. a leading seaman artist of german expressionist and a definitely personality. she was divorced twice. she had a son, was not born in one of her marriages, but she was very individualistic. she was very independent and,

and of course it took her agency. she took the room, she really spread the id is uh yeah, liberty of, of empowerment. but also she was, was kind of a queer access, even though she was like, she was not a queer person, but she was performing gender and she was courageous in a place she that extra say these proof projects lines the counselors, many, many of those programs and they canceled her, her play, i took all the most. so that was in march 1933. and she had to escape because she was attacked by members of the us in the streets in berlin. what happened to is it less kasheila after she had to leave germany? she 1st went in switzerland and from then she travels a bit and then she came to pass this time and and 1945. she died in

jerusalem toner hips. this person in alameda lived as an exxon in the united states . and 1939. he was bankrupt and depressed. he carried all the time slick at of all, presumably suitcase. and this was a moment when you can decide that this is my last a possibility to be free to make the decision to go out of this size. and this is a disaster ending, but this is the ending of ends total and it fits completely to us to this red color and consequent class. he was one of many persecuted artist who committed suicide over killed like right. a call for not yet. she who died and not see arrest or eric lose um, who was killed in a concentration come. what was happening in germany was no secret. on may 10th 1933

more than 100000 people protested in u. s. cities against hitler. american books, by the way, web burned on this day to like works by optim, saint clair and ernest hemingway a us national icon reacted as well. the deaf blind while i to helen keller, she wrote an open letter to the nazi organize us of the book, burning, saying, history has taught you nothing. if you think you can kill ideas, tyrants have tried to do that also before. and the ideas have risen up in their minds and destroys them actually being born under nazi who she might not even have survive childhood. denazi's racial hygiene program was responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of disabled persons. good . ready finish this chain book shelves are located on the ground. they controlled

around 20000 folks about as many as the nazis frontier in 1933. today this empty library, as the memorial side created by is really artist myisha omen. books are incredibly powerful. every also retiring regime fits them and no story proves that better than this one. now if any of you guys ever seen one of these bad things for real we burned almost every physical book in the country. about the time you guys grow up, there won't be one book. bird ray bradbury wrote that is toki and novel in 1953. in spite, it's either not simple, especially the 6 past mr. trust. you're an expert on the subject of the book or an exit. why did the nazis actually burn books?

they could have just found them by the time and by then they did both of them. but i know that's when the book burning took place here in berlin. and many other places in germany, the book bands had already begun for the things i knew that these are the herds of libraries had begun in february, march 1933. and 11 board is here in berlin. and indexing committee was set up under the leadership of books. com, ham, on langley research, the catalogs for so called about hostile literature. and you'll find that and that's what, that's what i'm, what was the meaning of the fire as it as well. yeah, it's yeah. fire is traditionally a simple that stands not only for destruction, but also in a certain way for read you the nation on. can you give us otherwise, i'll fill you in the national socialist ball. so worked with this symbolism and this metaphor, i'm the not to neither tennis, not the opposite. the orchestration of the book burnings in 1933 is reminiscent of religious ceremonies, typical of nazi events. i

left word mother had it unplugged german radio listeners could follow the report life the radio was one of the most important propaganda tools of the nazi regime and propaganda was used to both intimidate and entertain. with one goal in mind, total control one of the people what type of art and literature was permitted was decided by the so called dwight ministry of public and like menton propaganda headed by jones's goals, hitler's closest acolyte will have propaganda. so propaganda minister,

joseph gunnar, sold as a book burnings, not as a desktop. no, that was done on the part of the german student unions initiative in modeling, the anti jewish boy caught in 1933 when they drew up a plan that they wanted to tie in directly with this action of the boy caught up the jews on the set up their own campaign, which was called action against the and german spirit that started on april, 13th with the dissemination of the poster against the german spirit. he owned a car with 12, the police, anti semitic b. c. s. and so keeps on dizzy musician colorado. then applicable to, to on the what do students today think about that. dylan davis studies, lloyd buildings, homebound university, which is located right on the side of the book burnings. i knew about the book bindings. i was, i think, every one of his studies at the german high school. so i'm not aware of what happened. but, but when i started studying here,

it took about 2 or 3 weeks until i actually realized this is why books by literature i'll spend. so that was a fast, a kind of uh, shopping experience. we comp forgotten about the book bindings. why not random events, sconces by the nazis. they were organized by students of the faculty of law. they were supported by professors of this faculty, and that part of history is not being addressed within building on the location of the ninety's and reverse 3 of the book burnings. dylan and others want to make this small visible. they are putting together a special exhibition with biographies of people who were forced to leave the university. i think for me it was tough for me to see the power piece of

women because they could just start to um, to work as a lawyer in the 19 twenty's 22. and just like after 10 years or something it was over. i can see that you all of the remove of the topics. do you probably have any family background like jewish ancestors who had to leave university? i think for me it's the other way around. so i know that to at least 2 of my great grandfather select nazis. i've been in the ss and i think i saw the fest have that this past encourage me to reflect on and not sit around and try to remember those that have been prosecute and then to couldn't lift. get on with that live soft of us, just like my great grandparents grand margaret grandfather did. so for me, it was from a, a background was

a motivation to get into the topic. but just the other way around in the city of cologne, in the west of to many, some of the young people are researching, not see victims to this. this is the headquarters of the cologne follicle, but not the football team. falcons. the falklands are a gentleman socialist youth organization, with a history of more than a century. during the nazi regime, the follicles has been prohibited and persecuted. some fall can members are going to tell us more about it, and about their project on book burnings. zip as each month month is 20 years old, and belongs to a project group that is preparing a remembrance event in cologne. which with this project is that we remember our says, our past and the, the statues of our organization. but also to tell the story about

a fight against terrorism. and but also a culture off an active switched with you that was destroyed like in addition to jews, socialists and communists with the main enemies of the nazis. many of them had to flee, too many were breasted, or even killed several. and can you tell me a little bit about the codes that you're planning on the book? read like to perform the combination of reading the text of converts of this time and the treating the reading of the text. we sing songs that are important for the

fine. 1934 more than 3500 books. were of the nazis blacklist money. persecuted also as had already left germany. hey collins, this doesn't like what was it like an everyday life is the people who reads the black list of books and the way what symbolism and provide like in the private arena. these books were still found on people shelves. but of course, people were cautious when the visitors came calling in prove that they preferred to hide them away. but people continue to read them privately from people to and public libraries. they've disappeared completely assisting. that's one either to listen to him do with indexing and blacklist spots. and the nazi succeeded in making these books no longer accessible or available in bookstores underneath quite a bit. so they actually succeeded in making a large part of these authors date into oblivion. i think as i said, if i guess i'm i'm, i'm fine. so that's in the snack month. on the ad, for example, then the famous us good evening whose books were also burned here. i 50 reading

with them. he returned from exile after 1945, but never reconnected at a key at the nonsense. i'm going to see what else to look for em, god coined with her a successful novel, the artificial silk girl. my thoughts were mine. she lived in germany after 1945 and so as an impoverished officer and continue to publish books because i know the times that they weren't in demand didn't more. and if you advise that, because these authors had become largely marginal or divide seen by united, the best to be able to visit then what, what has happened to the nazi before? and it had not occurred to me at the bins the, the knots. and as i said, if it had not been for national socialism, stadium had, if it had not been for the burning of books and the cultural diversity and innovative spirit of germany in the 1920s would certainly have continued in boston . and because had the by default to this, them on look to the united states, i saw the hollywood to the actors and directors who worked their house quits long.

for example, an immigrant from germany on slips long by 659 immigrants or flesh that night or in science in albert einstein who went into exile. but i'm our social scientists like to do, i don't know. also left the united states, a detailed lodge on or leaving him off. and you finally can start and take your american universities in american cultural institutions on the influx of immigrants from germany. it was a huge benefit. that's what it all from that. and maybe that's what they are still reaping these benefits. and i would say that we have not yet recovered from that loss. and what it meant for germany, i'm doing a, beside to mr. who would you almost had understanding what took a good place to flood and soil literature highmark literature not to not. and of course, national socialist kitch, completely boring stuff. and people didn't actually read it. it is, hold on for just a glance of when, when i'm in the medicine where they burn books, they will ultimately burn human beings as well. the that is what the words on this

memorial plaque say. well, it's 10 by 100 kind of a gentleman, choose code of the 19th century of cause the nazi's for and his folks to know it. so that's fine. 1933. the nazis burned books in 1938. the synagogues were burned. and in 194243 during the show of to get the genocide of the european jewish people were very much and then i will pay some you wouldn't find, mention the nazis did not invent book burnings over the course of christianity. those books and people that were burned and she laid books burned after puts in 1973 and in 2022 and the us books were also burned away. when you hear about the book burnings in tennessee, in 2022. a password for the entire reporter and twilight volumes. that's why that's all the discussions about banning books from school libraries in florida. what do

you think them to taking and sorry to go to like it? i would not compare such individual actions with the historical context of major book burnings, and how many i here on may 10th alone books were burned in 22 places in germany, upon these actions of which you speak. there was also a burning of the koran in sweden by right wing extremists that all could take him, which of course should be condemned. reading these or actions by individuals or groups extend this thing, but they are not actions backed by public authorities and board police agency was released from britain they can provide. and what i've often police highest in tech sentence using something like that could happen in too many to when we are not fighting for our let's say our values, of course, in every place. then in total run a demo credit ready cuz came into power is clear,

it could happen on every place also, or also in germany. what can each and every one of us do to prevent that standard? and yes, say something, have the courage to say something the
