I was looking for a vid of the #bookburning that took place on October in 2022. Not 1922, not 1932, not 1933...

2022.

October 2022 in #MountJuliet #Tennessee. A bunch of people standing around a bonfire.

(SOURCE: #France24 English, Encore, '#Iranian author #AzarNafisi warns "Totalitarian mindsets exist anywhere'. During the 10 minute interview, she mentions how democracies are endangered and a short video clip of the #TennesseBookBurning was briefly shown onscreen as she spoke.)

I couldn't find a vid I wanted to post, so I put up a post about another book burning. This vid is from FFRF, Freedom From Religion Foundation 25 October 2019, about some pastor named #GregLocke, who is seen in the clip burning a book by one of FFRF's attorney.

CNN: "Sweden allows protest burning Torahs and Bibles outside Israeli Embassy"

There was a public burning of the Quran outside Stockholm's central mosque at the end of June.

This is deeply hateful and awful. Minorities of whatever type should be respected.

I can't get to the bottom of why they are burning Bibles. Are they burning New Testaments as well as Old (Jewish) Testaments?

Today in Writing History July 12, 1562: Fray Diego de Landa, Bishop of Yucatán, burned the sacred idols and books of the Maya. There were many Mayan books in print at the time of the conquest. They were produced as codices, or folding books, printed on bark paper by professional scribes and were the main written record of Maya civilization. De Landa wrote: “We found a large number of books in these characters and, as they contained nothing in which were not to be seen as superstition and lies of the devil, we burned them all, which they regretted to an amazing degree, and which caused them much affliction.” There are four known Mayan codices still in existence.

A quotation from Jackson, Holbrook:

«««««
History proves there is no better advertisement for a book than to condemn it for obscenity. Forbidden fruits have unique flavors, and the bounds of suppression create new limits of desire.

Its collection included unique works on intersexuality, homosexuality, and transgender topics. It's believed that Dora Richter, the first transgender woman known to have undergone sex reassignment surgery (by doctors at the institute), may have been killed during the attack.

How far are we from seeing a repeat in Florida and other red states? 2/2

The first large burning came on 6 May 1933. The German Student Union made an organised attack on Magnus Hirschfeld's Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (roughly: Institute of Sex Research). Its library and archives of around 20,000 books and journals were publicly hauled out and burned in the street. 1/2

I am the proud product of 8 years of Jesuit education. In those 8 years, subjects of discussion were not decided by the governor of the State nor were they decided by any politician! We were allowed to ask any question!
That's the way it should be. And, those days were in the 1950's and 1960's, not the most unlighted times when it came to race or gender!

Marsh notes that, leading up to this period, German churches and theology faculties were swept by pro-Nazi rhetoric equating the rise of the Nazis and Hitler with the formation of a new German Christianity, which would be manly and strong and free Germany of the taint of Jewish blood (p. 158).

He writes,

"By June, German Protestant leaders were united in their praise of the Nazi regime. 'Christ has come to us through Adolph Hitler,' one minister gushed (p. 176).

Many of the books had been seized from synagogues, churches, and library shelves. The heavy involvement of seminary students and their professors in this book-burning event orchestrated by storm troopers is discussed by Charles Marsh in his Strange Glory: A Life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer (NY: Knopf, 2014), p. 174.

The photo by Mark Ahsmann is of a memorial plaque in Bebelplatz in Berlin marking where the Nazis — and university professors and students, many of them seminary students — burned books on 10 May 1933 as the Nazi reign of terror ramped up. The plaque has an inscription from Heinrich Heine saying that where people burn books, they will end up burning people.

On 8th April 1933, ninety years ago today, the Main Office for Press and Propaganda of the German Student Union proclaimed a nationwide "Action against the Un-German Spirit", which was to climax in a literary purge or "cleansing" ("Säuberung") by fire. The destruction of "Left", democratic, and Jewish literature took precedence over everything else.
