BEBELPLATZ
Site presenting a memorial erected to commemorate an auto-da-fé carried out there by the Minister of Propaganda on May 10, 1933.
Bebelplatz is the symbol of the brutality of Nazi ideology. On May 10, 1933, the Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels ordered that 20,000 works of art with a "non-German" spirit be burned there. The works of Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, Heinrich Mann, Kurt Tucholsky were thus thrown into the flames in a highly cultural place (the square is bordered by the Staatsoper, the Humboldt-Universität, etc.). A very discreet memorial has been erected in memory of this autodafé. Look for a glass plaque on the ground. Under your feet: the shelves of an empty bookcase... empty.
