The Holocaust and the book. Destruction and Preservation

Sobre el libro The Holocaust and the book. Destruction and Preservation de Jonathan (ed.) Rose publicado por Up Massachusetts al 2008:

Between 1933 and 1945, Nazi Germany systematically destroyed an estimated 100 million books throughout occupied Europe, an act that was inextricably bound up with the murder of 6 million Jews. By burning and looting libraries and censoring "un-German" publications, the Nazis aimed to eradicate all traces of Jewish culture along with the Jewish people themselves."The Holocaust and the Book" examines this bleak chapter in the history of printing, reading, censorship, and libraries.
