caption

A very thoughtful memorial at Bebelplatz—main site of the infamous Nazi book burnings. Looking down through a plexi-covered hole in the middle of the square, one sees empty shelves. This image was captured on the night of the 70th anniversary of the initial book burning (May 11, 1933).

vocabulary: Gedächtnis (Memory), Unterdrückung (Oppression)
interesting fact In the century before the book burnings—with startling foresight—Jewish Poet Heinrich Heine wrote: "Where they start burning books, they'll end by burning people."
