Best Answer

It was a way of expressing hatred for books that Hitler and the Nazis thought were 'un-German'. The book-burning in May 1933 was organized by Goebbels and was done amid maximum melodrama. Long before anyone even thought of the Nazis the poet Heinrich Heine said, 'Where they burn books, they end up burning people'.

[another answer]

The Book Burning rallies were also used to control the intellect of the Nazi followers so that they didn't know any other knowledge except what they deemed necessary. This led them to be able to control what their followers thought about the world, and more importantly, how Hitler wanted them to think during World War 2

Hitler banned books written by Jews or anything that attacked German ideals. The University of Arizona has an exhibit.

An uneducated populace is easier to control. Have you ever read Fahrenheit 451?
