memorial at bebelplatz. this thing is 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. the initial burning took place on may 11, 1933. 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." |
