Das wissenschaftliche Bibliothekswesen im Nationalsozialismus

About this book

Pp. 31-65 describe the dismissal of Jewish librarians and archivists from the public services during the Nazi regime. Some were forced to retire, others were arrested by the Gestapo. Jews were not allowed to use public or university libraries. The collections in these libraries increased due to the requisition of Jewish private libraries. Pp. 79-83 describe bookburnings in Germany and in occupied Eastern Europe.
